It would definitely be a waste of $400k if the 1-year trial is a failure.
Greasyrhys, $400k wouldn't cover the North Tce pollies lunch money for a week!
Got this link from another Forum Labor vows to reopen Millswood Station.
Seems it all hinges on Labors 1% chance of winning next months election, Liberal's closed it years ago looks like they are going to keep it closed. I wonder if Vicki Chapman (Shadow Minister for Transport and Infrastructure) is just going to brush the idea off.

Hey AFULE, just wanted to take a moment to thank you for your original post.
There's post after post calling you a liar and the news fake, but after being proven correct there's still been no thanks and although I played no part feel bad reading through all this... so thanks again for bringing this interesting news forward![]()
Millswood has a ramp to the platform.
Great, so now we add another stop to the Belair line - seriously, how slow do you want the train to go - add another few minutes onto the journey, and you're almost faster to drive.
As a side note: my apologies AFULE, in a world dominated by media mongrels and social media, to see nothing online hinted bull dust to me, so forgive my flippancy in my earlier post
Seldom
it looks like maybe that labor are still in power so hopefully the Mills-wood station does reopen in the middle of the year as planned!
They are back in power. But like a lot of things heath if is is simply money being spent on virtually nothing then there might be a rethink of a trial for Millswood. They will not get hardly a cent from the Federal Government for the next 4 years so spending money on something that would be seen as nothing to the rest of the voters in this state might just get the hackles up a bit. I am not saying they will or will not but in the next 4 years of power they will have to tread very carefully indeed one false step and it could all be over for Labor for a while. They only got in this time because of an independent going with them, so it really was extremely close for them, if they make too many mistakes now it might end up in a change completely at the next election! So I can see a lot of purse strings being tightened up or some projects abandoned even.A point which doesn't look good for the Millswood trial is that the government will have some level of plausible deniability if they drop it.
Or indeed it's cancellation for it's pure lack of interest and value.They'll still need some level of spin to deal with the local agitators.
Labor saidThere's enough of a problem before you go any further. They are proven liars (see the pledging of rail electrification north of the city at the 2010 election, the 2014 election and probably 2018 as well, and the hundreds of unfulfilled promises to fix South Road from three terms in government) who are very fond of revising what they did/didn't say some time after it was/wasn't said.

What's the bet we get to the end of May with implemented skip stop timetable? Here's Labor's problem, they have been telling locals they'll have express services, because that's what's been requested (demanded) by the 'locals', and the state ALP have said they'll do it. Then when someone with rail knowledge actually looks at their proposal you realise the ALP 'express' is actually a skip stop - they've misrepresented their own policy because they don't actually know what the words mean.
