Members of Officer’s Gurdwara Sri Guru Nanak Darbar (SGND) paid a special visit to Pakenham Station.
Last Monday 8 July, families toured the stations to appreciate the massive work put into the project as well as teach kids about the importance of public transport.
“Everyone should go and look at the beautiful station and the new East Pakenham Station, they are community assets and we should be proud of them,” member of SGND, Harpreet Kandra said.
The kids enjoyed the tour to understand aspects of project management, the materials used, sustainability and safety dimensions of the new station.
While they were also taught to appreciate public transport and the importance of reducing car usage.
“A lot of people have been diverged because of this project, but once you see the result it is easy to see it was worth it,” Kandra said.
“I wanted to connect them to public transport and why we should use it as responsible citizens, if more of us used trains than our cars it would be better for the environment and mean less congestion on our roads.”
