Durbans main train station is really cool, surprises me that their hadn't been any photos posted of this upgrade before.

Those are fantastic!!!
Ive said this before, Durbans main infrastructure projects are fucking fabulous!!! Best in the whole country by miles... Stadium, airport, beachfront, train stations... (and trains didnt seem to bad also), how better can this get!!!
Dont come and tell me that here in Europe things are better because its just plain bull shit!!!
South Africans just have to learn to appreciate what theyve got!! Im proud of Durbs and SA!!! Keep the good work up!!

friend just took a train from Joburg to Durban last night (something she'd never have thought of doing EVER) and she loved it! apart from it being very long she was extremely impressed by the stations.

I like the "mess"... adds to the life of the venue. It shows that the venue is "working"
Cool picture btw.
