The SG platform is *definately* under construction at North Shore.  It appears
to be 2 carriages long, constucted from steel with concrete bases (pretty much
like Coburg and Diamond Creek's second platforms).

I hope it gets more use than the adjacent carpark - they spent quite a bit on
it, I've never seen more than 2 cars parked there!

Cheers,
