It would be nice if this was a Halloween story but it’s way
too scary.
The southbound platform at SunRail’s Lynx Central station
is N-A-S-T-Y. The northbound platform appeared to be much cleaner.
We’re not sure what transpires overnight on the southbound
platform, but it’s pretty bad, as you can see in the accompanying photo.
At 6 o’clock this morning that platform was covered with
everything from cigarette butts to what we think was human waste (we’re talking
No. 2).
At almost all the other SunRail stations the platforms are
close to pristine – a testament to diligent work by janitorial workers who
clean stations during the day.
We don’t know whether the filth we found this morning on
the southbound platform at Lynx Central station occurred overnight, or if the
janitorial worker has been on vacation, but that platform needs a deep clean.
We’re talking high-pressure washer, boiling hot water, bleach and other
disinfectants. There was also questionable brown substance smeared on a couple
of benches.
Clearly smoking – which is banned on the platforms -- is
another big problem at this station. We started counting cigarette butts on the
southbound platform and we quit when we reached 50. We saw riders waiting for
trains smoking. There was a technician at the station trying to fix the 3
broken ticket vending machines, and even he was smoking!
SunRail’s Lynx Central station needs lots of attention,
please.
