The city stations are like eggs, just in case you didn't know :)

I'm pretty sure I'll be able to understand where they are in the city without all the adjectives and hyperbole. Are they really going to be more impressive than the loop stations?

I am interested in how they cross the La Trobe Street train tunnels under ground. That part is really cool. I assume they're above the loop at the Library end of Swanston, but below it at Flinders St. I'd love to see a rendering of beneath La Trobe and Swanston Streets.

But the stations themselves? From that video, they don't look like the most amazing stations in Melbourne, let alone the world.
