The above is only a link to their FB page. Nothing directly related to progress of the spur line development.

Picture shows a Redhen at the end of the museum’s short line next to the new AdMet passing loop. The line ends almost where the pedestrian path joins Edith Street.

The utility building is bigger than the passenger shelter
Seriously though, that shelter should have been at least double that length

I really don't get this - what is the justification for saving a relatively small amount of money in terms of the overall project costing by not putting in a shelter that is significantly bigger than the one that's there?
It looks very similar in size to the one at the recently-rebuilt Croydon Station and on any rainy or sunny morning that provides nowhere near enough shelter for the number of people on the platfom in peak hour.
I can only assume that the person at DIT who is responsible for commissioning new/rebuilt stations has never actually taken public transport themselves.

Croydon is close to the city whereas Port Dock is the end of the line and its a spur line so I assume they're not anticipating a huge amount of patronage.

Why does it need to be built so tall? How tall are the people catching this train? If they had constructed it shorter and longer, with enclosed sides, it might actually do what a shelter is supposed to do, and shelter people from the weather. At this height, it won't even block the rain on a windy day.

But wasn’t increasing patronage the whole justification for building this spur line?
