Today I had a look at the location of the future

tram terminus at Box

Hill and could not see any evidence of a

commencement of work.

There are actually a few stakes in the ground which
could be the start
of work, but nothing else.

They have been there for a while. When they announce
the closing of the median strip car park is when it is
closer to the actual beginning of construction.

The
Yarra Trams web site says the stop will be

completed by September. In

the time taken to construct the Victoria Parade

superstop is any

indication there will need to be some smart work to

get Box Hill

completed on time.

The Victoria Parade superstop opened today, after
nearly 3 months.

Which is quite a while considering they quoted that it
would be reopened in late-may (1 month from closing).
But M>Tram built the Flinders St Station stop and it
took about 3 months to open one platform. They built 3
platforms at Vic Pde. The Box Hill one will be only
one platform.

This is dependent on them getting the track put down
and the overhead strung up, etc. They should worry
about that first! They can put a wooden platform there
as a temporary stop until they build the proper stop.
Also at Nelson and Elgar Road stops.
