Weird. Time out bench?

I believe that bench is there as a requirement, a place for the elderly folks to rest while they hike up and down the long ramps to get between the ground and platform levels.

They didn't have to face it to the wall, as though you're there to think about how naughty you've been

Possibly a safety requirement? In Japan they have shifted all seating on station platforms to be facing along the platform itself (rather than the tracks) to prevent drunk/tired people standing up and staggering over the edge. Also makes it harder for things like strollers/wheeled suitcases to roll onto the tracks.

There is quite a bit of temporary fencing around properties to be demolished/land to be cleared from the Oaklands crossing continuing on Diagonal Rd to opp. the Aquatic Centre/Westfield Marion. Anyone know what the plan is? Or if its just going to be a wider, better lit path with landscaping etc?

They're upgrading the park adjacent to the station. Landscaping, play equipment, all the usual park stuff.

I did a video look at the platform; the area adjacent to the train station looks really smart. Half court Basketball, benches and well signed to inform people of what’s in the area.
