URGENT UPDATE: Beaconsfield residents are sounding the alarm over the crumbling condition of their train station, calling for immediate action to address serious safety risks. A shocking video circulating on social media shows a resident pressing on the undercover entrance structure, which visibly swayed and moved when touched, raising alarms among locals about potential dangers.
Residents warn that the deteriorating state of Beaconsfield Station could lead to injuries if not addressed urgently. “The whole of Beacy needs an upgrade,” said a concerned commuter. “This needs to be blocked off before it collapses and hurts someone or, even worse!” Another elderly local reflected on the station’s neglect, stating, “The station hasn’t changed since I went to school to Paky High via train in the ’70s.”
Local frustration is mounting as many residents have reached out to Metro Trains about these issues but report receiving inadequate responses. The community demands a swift resolution to ensure safety for all passengers.
In response, a spokesperson for Metro Trains confirmed that repair works to the porch and entry structure at Beaconsfield Station were completed on July 12, 2023, at 3 PM. The spokesperson insisted that the shelter is now structurally safe and poses no risk to passengers, clarifying that it operates independently of the main station building.
Despite these assurances, the locals remain skeptical. The visible deterioration and the need for repairs underscore a growing sentiment that the entire station requires significant upgrades to meet safety standards.
As concerns persist, residents continue to advocate for immediate and comprehensive renovations. Authorities are urged to prioritize the safety and infrastructure of Beaconsfield Station to prevent any potential accidents.
This situation highlights a broader issue of aging infrastructure affecting communities across the region. Residents are not only calling for better maintenance but also for a long-term commitment to upgrading public transport facilities.
