Re: Victoria Cross Station open day
  Matthew Geier

Phil didn't waste any time, I just got home from the 'Victoria Cross open day' and haven't had a chance to download my camera yet!

There are some architectural details they will come to regret - the opening shot of Phil's video shows two brown 'covers' over the running tracks - they are going to be absolutely hell to keep clean - the 'slats' are going to trap dust and small bits of litter, but the way they are constructed means any one cleaning them will need 'working at heights' gear.

I've not been in any of the other new stations so I don't know if they all have this detail or not. Certainly was NOT designed for ease of maintenance.

The platform is 11 storeys below street level. There is a new building of about 40 storeys above the station at the Berry Street corner, next to the MLC building.
