ajsadauskas, 1 month ago @AllNewTypeFace Of course there were. For commuters: More densification around existing stations and tram lines instead of suburban sprawl. Upgrading buses across Melbourne to a 10-minute minimum frequency and straightening out existing bus routes. Rolling out high-capacity signalling and automatic train control across the Melbourne suburban rail network Building Metro 2 from Newport to Clifton Hill would double the number of trains that can run on the Hurstbridge and Mernda lines. Building the Doncaster Railway. Building the Heidelberg to Box Hill section of the SRL first. Extending the 48 tram to Doncaster and giving it dedicated lanes for more of its journey. And then for freight, there's a bunch of things too: Converting more suburban lines to dual gauge. Converting more regional Victorian lines to standard gauge Electrifying regional rail and freight services Building more multimodal facilities near existing rail lines.
