Thank you for pointing this out, I did forget it when I made my original
post, on those two lines, they have cut only enough of the platform down to
accommodate the tram, so there is still some original platform left outside
the station buildings which are just let to deteriorate. The whole station
at St. Kilda was fenced off and the light rail move to the north side of the
station.
