I should have mentioned that Hazelbrook Station is finally getting an upgrade, including a much-coveted elevator. For years people with disabilities or those carrying luggage have either struggled with a long flight of steps to reach the platform, or have had to go to Springwood to access the elevator there.

Work started on the weekend past and I noticed a coterie of workmen on the platform today, no doubt preparing the site for the machinery and tower. Hazelbrook has become a much busier station over the last twenty years and with the new trains coming in a year or two, may get even busier. I like to use the steps of course but I'm sure the lift will get a very good workout.
