EW link is a Finger in the dyke. How long will it hold? Not long enough.
You worried about your grandkids? Perhaps make sure there is a world for them to actually grow up in.
Cars are far from good for the environment. PT flogs it in terms of environmental benefits.
WHere to put the rail? Everywhere!
Rail to Tullamarine is a good start.
More rail around the city which they are doing.
Already adding some rail out my way.
Doncaster area should be next.
Adding a new line/extension takes 100's of cars of the roads every day.
As I said, we have to deal with reality.
You cannot just add train lines to a system that cannot handle it.
I agree we need PT but it will never be the entire solution in a city this vast.
Oh and throwing away a billion dollars cannot be justified no matter how you swing it.
That tunnel should have been built and so should the western link connecting the ports to the western ring road.
The current plan to link it to the West Gate is a farce again.
