Weird. Time out bench?
I believe that bench is there as a requirement, a place for the elderly folks to rest while they hike up and down the long ramps to get between the ground and platform levels. :lol:
They didn't have to face it to the wall, as though you're there to think about how naughty you've been :lol:
Possibly a safety requirement? In Japan they have shifted all seating on station platforms to be facing along the platform itself (rather than the tracks) to prevent drunk/tired people standing up and staggering over the edge. Also makes it harder for things like strollers/wheeled suitcases to roll onto the tracks.

There is quite a bit of temporary fencing around properties to be demolished/land to be cleared from the Oaklands crossing continuing on Diagonal Rd to opp. the Aquatic Centre/Westfield Marion. Anyone know what the plan is? Or if its just going to be a wider, better lit path with landscaping etc?

They're upgrading the park adjacent to the station. Landscaping, play equipment, all the usual park stuff.

I did a video look at the platform; the area adjacent to the train station looks really smart. Half court Basketball, benches and well signed to inform people of what’s in the area.

My video is, OAKLANDS STATION - Adelaide Rail Network, Seaford Line
