Yes, I'm absolutely positive that all the stations on the ESR will be
completely renovated when the line is extended to Bondi Beach.

I'd beg to differ (gently) on the condition of the stations. They are most
definitely dated (mid to late 70's style and decor) but I don't think I'd
call them sleazy and shabby. The surrounding streets of Kings Cross ... now
that's a different matter.
