Is Jolimont close enough to the city for you? 8^) I believe someone
still staffs the up platform there for most of the day.
	You could also try any station from West Richmond to Victoria Park
before 10am when the part time staff close up shop (if you buy it at
Collingwood say hello to Heather there).
	Clifton Hill is also staffed all day on the up side for safeworking and
security purposes and it is 8 minutes from Flinders Street express or 11
minutes stopping all stations.
