[edit] Features of a Premium Station

I don't think the listed features of a premium station are necessarily all true. While all the ones i've seen have had an enclosed waiting area, and they might have staff from first to last train (though i'd swear i've seen premium stations without staff while trains are running), they certainly don't all have PID systems installed- Mordialloc doesn't, it uses the same timetable system as Aspendale and Parkdale next to it. --Kyelewis 06:02, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

Thankyou Kyelewis!!! I couldn't agree more, yes it is actually feasible that Connex may purport to provide a service when in reality they are not. - Nick

[edit] Regarding 'unwanted' changes

I ammended this article to reflect the truth, which is that many station's toilets are NOT open. This has been my experience and the experience of many people I know. None of the information on this page has been referenced, and exactly how many journalists (or Connex employees for that matter) are rushing out to document the availability of Premium Station toilets?

We could provide a legitimate reference to an existing timetable and say "trains always arrive at this time on this day", yet we all know this is hardly the case.

Perhaps people can contribute to this talk page and give an indication of their experiences.

Thank you for your suggestions.

Nick
