Resuggan had been in the employ of the Railways department since 1888 and gatekeeper at Highett for the last sixteen years; residents would describe him as “very careful” and “attentive” who had often “made himself disliked for checking people who wanted to get through”.

James Montgomery, engineer from the Railways department gave evidence that warning lights were fitted on the south-east and south-west gates but as neither gates were open to road traffic, McNee received no warning.

 Talk:Flinders Street Station - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Flinders Street poses a unique problem with the line/station tables: since every line in Melbourne begins at Flinders Street, should every line (in the spirit of completeness) be represented in either one giant line box or several smaller ones for each group?

North Melbourne definately isn't a 'next' station from FSS, but those lines have to be represented if all the others are.
