This may involve the removal of pedestrian facilities on the LX so that it can be changed to automatic operation; allegedly this will mean the crossing can stay open for longer.

And I thought the replacement of a lift at Penrith was slow at 2-1/2 months. Closed last Monday until 31 March. The first day there was a crowd of workmen around, removing the hydraulic oil, but haven'e seen much activity since.

Lifts, just like all machines, have a life expiry so need replacement.

Apparently the shuttle bus was used for a complete closure of the concourse on one weekend but the warning lingered.

Currently with the northern exit lift out of service, 3 or 4 casual staff at a time are employed to assist passengers with prams/luggage/etc up and down the stairs.

Surprisingly, the new lift actually started operating early last week, almost 3 weeks ahead of schedule.
