COMMUTERS are grappling with the first day of the Adelaide Railway Station closure, forcing train passengers to use buses for all or part of their journey to the city. Jodie Pearce relies on Tonsley railway station in Adelaide's south to get to appointments in the CBD, and says closing it will force locals with disabilities to stay home. Last year nearly 12 million paying patrons boarded or disembarked trains there, which equates to around 230,000 people using the station every week.Between 2020 and 2023 the Adelaide Railway Station will be uplifted and re-energised as part of Renewal SA's vision to rejuvenate the station and the surrounding public realm.The restoration of the Adelaide Railway Station’s western façade will see master and apprentice work side-by-side, not only to revive the beauty of Adelaide’s historic transport hub but also the art of heritage stonework.HSR (Aust) Group and Renewal SA’s Works Program are seeking local people interested in undertaking two weeks work experience contributing to the restoration of some of Adelaide’s most iconic heritage buildings with a view to developing heritage trade skills through an apprenticeship.Revitalisation of the Adelaide Railway Station will see many of its heritage features restored and celebrated, while introducing a diverse range of shopping and dining experiences that reference the station’s golden era.On behalf of the state government, Renewal SA will oversee and manage the revitalisation of the Adelaide Railway Station, including the restoration of heritage façades and features, the upgrade of commercial tenancies and the negotiation of future leasing opportunities.Renewal SA is looking for operators who can leverage the great potential of the Adelaide Railway Station to run a successful business, and in doing so, add to the utility and vibrancy of this critical public space.We want to revitalise the overall commercial offering in the station through a combination of tenancy upgrades plus the establishment of new quality retail and service offerings.By taking a staged approach to upgrading its tenancies there will be opportunities for both short- and long-term leasing arrangements as well as pop-up opportunities.Renewal SA’s Adelaide Railway Station Project and Leasing Officer is available to provide further information and advice about current and future leasing opportunities in the Adelaide Railway Station. This may well have been where the seed for Virgin Airlines arose.So what would you do if your livelihood was tied up in a stall in the Adelaide Railway Station?Here are a few ideas of mine that spring to mind when contemplating an enforced break:I have been working with small business owners since joining Baker Marketing in 1999.I know that despite the attraction of being your own boss and having control over the way you run things, if we’re not careful we can slip into the kind of rut that we imagine when contemplating ‘working for the man’.This most important thing during times of upheaval, that all of us need to remember is this:If you don’t like change, you’re going to like irrelevance even lessThat great quote from General Eric Shinseki, Chief of Staff, U. S. Army, is often a bitter pill to swallow but it is true.The good news is that no matter how ‘ordinary’ or uninspiring our businesses or products might seem when compared to flashy car brands, sports brands and nightclubs, there is always an important reason for being at the core of what we do.Our job is to remember that, dust it off and reposition it to the centre of our thoughts again so that we can focus on how that applies to the wants and needs of our customers.Sometimes it can be health issues or accidents that knock us out of the game for a few months, this time it is a government decision.But no matter the cause, the period of the closure will still be tough and quite emotional.For the traders who seize the moment and take stock, they will see light at the end of the tunnel a little faster and clearer than most.For the rest of us, when are we next pausing to reflect on our situation and plan to keep our businesses relevant to the wants and needs of the markets we serve?Trains will always be leaving stations, our challenge is to keep on selecting the right ones! Adelaide’s passenger rail network comprises 132 kilometres of railway track on the Seaford, Gawler, Outer Harbor, Belair, Grange and Tonsley Lines, including 40 kilometres of electrified railway, 88 railway stations, 84 level crossings, 22 electric railcar sets and 70 diesel railcars.
