All Alamein line stations have the new Metlink signage.
Keilor Plains and Watergardens don't count, as the signage refers to M>Train as well as metlink. Same thing with Parliament, and some signs at Melbourne Central [the different].

the program in putting up the metlink signage and removing the old ptc and even met transit ones is way behind schedule. a friend of mine who works on the team which is doing it says that they should have already done about 40-50 stations or so already but haven't due to time constrants, funding to do so and the fact that the company who's making the signs is taking ages to make them. unfortunately he won't tell me which stations are next on the list after box hill

Glen Waverly has been done for a while too.
It's a shame about them having fallen behind; the new signage makes the transport system at least look fairly respectable.

Too bad they can't be bothered cleaning the station, or perhaps resurfacing the platform with something that chewing gum doesn't get stuck to, or even installing more lighting  . |
this is old news there's already another thread detailing this. |
Geez I'm just posting that here because it's on topic here and people can know (incase they missed the old thread which is long gone).
Don't be so quick to jump down peoples throats.

I tried to email feedback@metlinkmelbourne.com.au about it almost a month ago. I got a standard "Your message has been passed onto Metlink - you will receive a responce within 7 days" message. I haven't got a responce yet, and they (feedback@metlink/stellarcallcentres) won't respond to my other emails asking when will I get a responce.
Anyone got some contacts inside Metlink who could assist in getting some old station signs that would usually be scrapped?

Since when has it been announced that Box Hill is getting a facelift? Centro (or whoever "maintains" the bus interchange) doesn't give a crap about the 3rd world state its in, and the re is no commercial benefit to Connex for upgrading the station.
