The tuckpointing ( those thin white lines seen on Federation era brickwork ) on the Sandringham bound platform building is currently undergoing a complete do over. I can only assume it's a requirement of some form of heritage listing. From watching the guy doing the resto for over a week now, I can't see that a commercial body like Connex would pay for anything close to this kind of labour intensive work unless they had to, especially when it it something purely decorative. I'm sure we'd be shuffling in & out of concrete cardhouses if they could get away with it.
Whoever's footing the bill would be happy to know the guy's doing a bang up job, I had to switch platforms to check I wasn't seeing things when I first noticed the white lines appearing. Chalk ( or tuckpoint in this case ) this one up for the good guys.
