This would enable provision to be made for the utmost accommodation for passenger traffic which could ever be anticipated by abandoning the site of the temporary station and transferring to Scheme 2. At the same time it provided for the utmost possible goods traffic by leaving the whole of Blackhead's and of the Reclamation for goods, and not taking it up by a passenger station. It also was best from the point of view of pier accommodation for ferries, and deep-sea wharfage for Liners and by this means the passenger and the goods stations would be kept entirely separate. It was estimated by the Director of Public Works that the actual cost of the land to be resumed to give effect to this scheme would be $787,000, of the land thus resumed certain areas could be let, and the rental would at least cover the interest on the Capital outlay, leaving only a sum of about... which would be absorbed by the Railway without direct return. Probably also all or the greater part of Blackhead's could be let on short lease till required. To revert to the original site (Scheme 1) is inadvisable because the passenger station would interfere with the goods yard and the future extension of goods traffic. Also because a ferry wharf would be very difficult to locate and the ferry steamers would be in the way of Ocean Steamers loading and discharging cargo, even if the deep-sea wall was continued as at first planned at a cost of $751,000.
