[COM] Oaklands Crossing | $174m

The government seems to spend a lot of money in the vain hope of both preventing and curing stupid, but unfortunately the cash hasn't seemed to make much of an effect.

You can't circumvent Darwinism.

Yes you can, and you must!

Stupidity is more environmental than genetic, and society has evolved far beyond the point where we only rely on our genetic traits. And don't worry about the effects of more stupid people in the gene pool, because DNA is already hackable, and it's only a matter of time before people start doing so.

I do have to agree here that future plans should have been factored into the design of the Oaklands Interchange, including grade separating the crossing and improving road traffic flow through the area.

That's what I thought, but when I spoke to the people constructing it I found they had been.

This still isn't 100% complete - they havent put the cameras up yet, and they also have empty information boxes. I'm wondering whats going to be in the boxes though, they look like they could hold a plasma screen each Sydney style and they have a grill to cover the screen so who knows maybe they will take a punt that they wont get valdalised.

nevertheless, the gene pool could do with a dose of chlorine...

Mawson Lakes wasn't 100% complete until around 6-7 months after the station opened in February 2006. These are only minor points though, atleast the station is operational.

They have installed the electronic passenger information displays now. They are the same style as the rest of the new lcd displays. I think there were 4 being installed on each platform (8 total) but i'll have to check

[Will409]

When you say LCD, do you mean the style that is installed in Adelaide Railway Station or the standard LED display that you see at a number of other stations around the system?

[muzzamo]

led sorry

[Norman]

I'll have a geeze tomorrow and provide photographic information.

[muzzamo]

yep they have 8 led info displays. They have also installed the emergency security stations and today they were finally installing the security cameras.

[muzzamo]

The ticket office is open now. Same lazy transadelaide employee that worked there before by the looks of it (ie no shop)

[Norman]

Photos from tonight. The RRT displays did not seem to work as of yet.

[SRW]

I love the station, I do, but gosh that orange is horrendous...

[Shuz]

I lurve it. That's so freaking sexy.
