I can't justify wasting money on converting the Williamstown line to Standard Gauge, rebuilding the platforms to an adequate height, changing the power supply in the wires to suit light rail, buying a brand new fleet, building a practical interchange in Newport, etc. Just run three car sets. Capacity won't be an issue when the Werribee line goes through Metro 2, leaving plenty of room for Williamstown and Altona services through the current route.So you can only conceive of 'our' trains or 'our' trams.
You have no idea about the realities that lie in between, so is your opinion really worth that much?
Question for you ZH and Michael: are you proposing a) conversion of Newport-Williamstown prior to or instead of Metro 2; or b) conversion of Footscray-Williamstown after Metro 2?
What's this got to do with a Caulfield - Rowville tram line?
should we shut down those lines too ?
Were you hoping you stumbled on a contradiction? Better luck next time.
