Filthy, rent seeking behaviour.
At least people can avoid tollways, this is disgusting.
So you're completely oblivious to the scale of development all along the line?
The new timetable skips both Rockbank and Cobblebank leaving them with a pathetic hourly service. Why? To save three ...
I don't think you realise the scale of the urban renewal that is going to take place in the inner north.
We're talking about conservative population increases of 50% in some parts within two decade ...
So rather than give a half-useful service to Rockbank and Cobblebank we're going to skip them to save a few minutes for the likes of Ballan?

I'll send them a few banjos to sweeten the deal.
Doncaster is no more required than any of the other freeways from the plan from which it was spawned.
The NE Link is a completely logical step, and those who oppose it are living in denial.

These sorts of things are nonsense, the reality is far more subjective.
If I live in any of the top leafy burbs, but can't afford it, my livability is low, similarly if I don't work nearby, or pref ...
They need at least two trains, so we can buy 200 buses instead.
There are about 150 services per day to Gborough, 120 to Eltham, and 60 to Hurstbridge.
Save maybe 4 buses to match Gborough fre ...
Seymour through Craigieburn should be running through Sunshine with the airport link, not puttering about the inner north.
Thinking stations on the Upfield line will remain quiet when the inner nor ...
Why do we always hear about extending Upfield north? Are the empty runs not long enough, we need them all the way to Roxburgh now?

[quote=chomper][color=#000000][size=2][font=Roboto, wf_SegoeUI, ]You are aware that the old RTA (Vicroads precursor) had done some design work for an orbital (or part thereof) rail line in the 1980's? ...

That's a hand-waving cop out.
You could increase density massively, but you wouldn't, because a peninsula is just about the worst place for it, as access is heavily restricted. No sane property de ...
The whole thing is a sick joke - the western end should tell you all you need to know.
The orbital buses failed and were cut back because they were a stupid concept, but now they want to cement thi ...
Hurstbridge Line Upgrade Stage 3:
Truncate at Eltham and use the freed up resources to ramp up frequencies across the line.
[quote=True Believers][color=#000000][size=2][font=Roboto, wf_SegoeUI, ]Converting the Williamstown and Altona rail lines is not an economical saving decision, otherwise, the Upfield line would have t ...
That's the point - extra stations won't bump up the patronage, they'll just add to the cost and slow the service.
Even with all the stops a stone's throw within each other, and the lack of priority ...
