48% complete
At August 28 2006, of 233 articles, 18 are complete, 68 are over 50% complete, and 147 have 30 to 40% content. The percentage complete is estimated at 48%.


All articles have an appropriate table and category.
  • Every currently-open station has an article with at least a station adjacency table (see below).
  • Very few stations even have an introductory paragraph. Finishing these is the task at hand.
  • Flinders Street, Southern Cross, the City Loop underground stations and those on the Alamein line have good articles, and no urgent work is needed.
  • Beyond intro lines, stations need more complete articles. This is the next step.
  • Eventually, both the open and closed stations ought to have articles like Ashburton and Alamein (see above).
