>>1039911>no station at South YarraOh, they're gonna regret being that stupid in the coming years. (j/k, they'll pawn off all responsibility on future governments.)
>>1040183>muh loop built to handle expansions that were never builtNo. Wrong. Look at the actual track pairs available. If signalling and control was completely upgraded the loop would not be able to cope, specifically the Craigieburn and Upfield lines would have to share capacity. In that sense the metro tunnel will achieve something, but it's still a massive waste of money at this stage.
What they should have done is focus on removing level crossings, yes upgrading signalling, and maybe extending the Alamein line to Gardenvale.
>>1040191>some type of tram subwayFunny you should say that, seeing how there are several places in Melbourne where the roads are too narrow for the tram network and they have to mix with cars, slowing every fucking thing to a crawl. Although if you're gonna fix that with tunnels put the cars in there instead. Nobody cares about car drivers.
