The central station for Melbourne! This place seems to be where all the transit in and around the city connects or originates. This is where I got dropped off from the bus from the airport, and connected with trains across town.
I tried to get a locker here for my luggage. While they do have a couple of rooms full of lockers, many of them were destroyed where people had broken in and bent the doors back to steal the luggage within. Few of the lockers were large enough for my bag, and all of them were booked up. In all, the luggage storage options looked dodgy.
The place has wide open spaces, where it seems that they could use more interesting things other than more shops, like public art. The terminal itself has some interesting architectural designs with wavy metal designs on the outside, looking like long lasagna noodles, with graffiti covered concrete cube bollards out front.
The restrooms were fairly disgusting- fresh puke in the urinal area, which is a trough along the wall. At least the place was safe, it seemed patrolled well by police. read more
