# Talk:Gardiner railway station

It's probably not notable - but would it not be at least as notable as the mention of the metcard vending machines?  It's a permanent wood structure just outside platform 1 (about 2 metres from the entrance), not something that a vendor wheels in every day to sell papers.

You make a good point - I've deleted the detail on the metcard vending machines as I agree it is similarly non-notable minutiae.  I'm familiar with the news-stand; in my view it's simply not something of note at the railway station; permanent news-stands are a familiar site across the suburban network and I'd suggest this example is no more noteworthy.

I found a pic labelled  M-class steam locomotive No.226 at Gardiner Station.  This pic doesnt really look like Gardiner station, but does anyone think it is at all possible (since I cannot find any other suburb or train station by the name of Gardiner)?  It ALMOST looks like the Burke Street intersection in the distance and the train is travelling towards the city on what would be Platform 2... Jwoodger (talk) 00:44, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

I reckon it is Gardiner station (and I agree there were no other Gardiner stations) but I reckon it's heading away from the city with the photo taken near Burke Rd. Murtoa (talk) 10:01, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
Yes I agree with the direction too (had a quick look this morning) and landscape looks very similar - of course without the footbridge or other buildings/carpark in the distance. Jwoodger (talk) 23:46, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
