Spencer St

I think this sums it up. I case you weren't aware, there is a redevelopment running at the moment on the Spencer Street railway station in the city. This station is one of the main rail hubs for the city, handling suburban and country trains, passenger and freight trains and also acts as a hub for buses. The design involves some very advanced engineering and design, with a very distinctive 'metal wave' roof that is intended to generate a large open space for the platforms, similar to large stations in europe.
Of course projects like this are all well managed, teams of people meeting every week, going over the issues and determining an action plan to resolve them efficiently. Kind of like all big projects I guess.
Whereas in reality, all sorts of stupid stuff gets forgotten, like making a proper sign to redirect people to the platforms :)
