message: "expected to be completed in mid-2006, in time for the 2006 Commonwealth Games". As the Games are in the first quarter of 2006, this is a chronological impossibility. Nurg 23:03, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

message: Unless there are any protests I am going to change the information in reference to the Telstra Dome to accurately reflect it's capacity. It has a max seating capacity of 74,000 with the standard for AFL matches being 56,347. This will also coincide with the information found in the relevant Wiki article.

replies: text: Telstra Dome is not part of Southern Cross Station.  I don't believe this level of information belongs in the article.  Merely mentioning the stadium is adjacent should be enough. --ozzmosis 19:21, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

message: It would be really good to get an image of the station prior to its redevelopment. If anyone has an old photo floating around or if there are any other free use images that could be tracked down that would be awesome! Tinkstar1985 09:26, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

message: The infobox says that there are 24 platforms, but the map on the station's website shows only 1-14 and even this article only identifies 15 & 16 in the "Platforms" sub-category.  Are there any underground platforms?  I think this needs to be clarified a bit more somewhere on the page. --Criticalthinker (talk) 09:26, 9 February 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, I went ahead and did some digging myself, and I see where I was making an incorrect assumption.  Each on of the platforms from 2 through 7 are actually divided into two different zones on the same platform (areas both of the footbridge and zones south of the footbridge).  And, platform 8 is actually three different platforms since 8S is south of Collins and often not pictured or shown in platform diagrams.  Platform 1 only has one platform, and most diagrams are outdated which is why 15 & 16 are not often show.  So, when you get them all counted, it is 24 different departure platforms.  It's an unusual layout, for sure. --Criticalthinker (talk) 17:47, 12 February 2015 (UTC)

message: Is this an accurate statement for the current era? This is an infrequently updated article; the 500th most recent edit is as far back as 2008, twelve years ago and only two years after the renaming. In my personal experience, Southern Cross is not colloquially thought of as 'Spencer Street station' except perhaps amongst some older adults. Retaining a 'colloquial' name that appears to have actually fallen out of common use seems potentially inaccurate and unencyclopedic. Vaticidalprophet (talk) 12:06, 18 December 2020 (UTC)
