Do North Melbourne have any kind of ATM/validators yet? On the Broadmeadows
line, all of the stations except Glenroy and Essendon have the conventional
stand-alone silver validators that stick up from the ground, and ATMs.
Essendon does have the ATMs but as mentioned above they have the gates. This
week Glenroy station finally recieved their validators. I find it strange
that they installed the green validators and not the proper ones, also i
notice that they have not installed ATMs there (yet?). Also i noticed that
Broadmeadows station's ATMs and validators were switched on. At Glenroy, on
the broadmeadows side, the validator is on and working (it was in "CLOSED"
mode at the start of the week), but the validators on the city side were not
even powered on.
