If you hate Skyrail you're a moron. You've never been a Commuter. Carrum station is one of the most beautiful in the whole network. You have all these other concrete bunker ass stations in the ditch under the road, bentleigh, armadale, cheltenham, which are all bare minimum concrete walls, piping, the only colour coming from the aluminium wall panelling that stops you trying to boulder on the spray on concrete walls. You're open to the sky except where the intersecting road passes overhead. There's no phone reception coz you in a ditch. And THEN you ascend into the sky. You arrive at Carrum. Up in the sky, this station is bare minimum in that there are no walls, only a roof to shelter you from the rain and the sun and you look out over the houses to the bay. The few walls that hold up the roof have maps and try their best not to interrupt the view are a warm sandy colour. The sea always beautiful no matter the weather. Peace grows in your heart when you arrive at Carrum Station, jewel of the Frankston line.
#i used to live on a different line with more sky rail#our stations were not as beautiful away from the ocean but they were still way better than commuting in a concrete trench#also the park trails underneath are very lovely!!#grass and garden and exercise stations and playgrounds and hundred year old eucalypts#rosie the redgum i miss you#ELEVATE THE COMMUTER#anyway catch public transport and if they are doing public consulting on public infrastructure you damn well better pick 'put it in the sky'#authorised by the victorian government and spoken by artemisbarnowl on behalf of public transport victoria#i dont live here i was just visiting the other day dont worry you cant dox me from this#7 million people live in Melbourne
