    I don't know if you can read the sign from afar. Maybe change the color of the sign?

      I agree it's hard to see the sign "Milsons Point Station" in direct sunlight. However, the pastel green colour is suited to the Art Deco design. Perhaps it could be improved with a darker shade of green for the lettering.

    ahhh gone are the days when designers put effort into making railway stations monumental and appealing. Milsons Point railway station could not be more Deco!

    The pale green makes it hard to see - too much sun in your city??!!!
