The station of the future is here!

Watch out Star Wars fans! The Greiner government was in and we were all to have a 'world class railway' by 1995. As part of this, the all-fancy automatic fare collection system was to be brought in, replacing the old cardboard Edmondson type tickets with space age new magnetic strip tickets. Not so hard to change the world in the early 1990's, a bit harder 20 years later.
