[quote=freightgate]The plan seems to include a connection from the bee station to the shopping centre on the opposite side of the road making a great change and easy access to the station from the sho ...

A win win for the electorally important LGAs while benefitting road users.

Completely ignoring the federal bribe from big blue last week of course. I can't wait for a federal Labor government either, except I'm not being sarcastic.

Anyone know why we couldn't have just bought more E classes for the 48/109/75 - are there limitations on the infrastructure preventing them from running?

Disappointed, the Alamein line still hasn't been tunnelled a mere kilometre or so south to Chadstone. Do that or we'll have no choice but to make Alamein a tram line.
Also forgot Cave Hill, W ...

Hmm, does Australia have an equivalent to Goody hair bands? American model collectors swear by them for vintage Tyco, Life-Like etc. but in Australia there isn't exactly a Wal-Mart nearby. I gather th ...

Well, to be fair, the Liberal Party was never intended to exist beyond 1990 as their core values are not compatible with a modern Australia. Howard just got lucky.

Simple, get rid of half the intermediate tram stops as with most other useless Melbourne tram routes. The 57 isn't my turf so I don't know the stop numbers, but going by tressteleg1's YouTube video th ...

I'm just going to assume that a G class will be roughly the same size as a B2 or C1, and hopefully no smaller.

The key word being "some". With 100 trams on order and presumably the entire lot going ...

So, has he been sued yet over his remark about being "blessed" to have had children without disabilities? Probably thinks he's blessed to not have an indigenous kid too. Sorry doesn't cut it when you  ...

Hmm, rough riding and a sudden excess of tread brake bogies... Hey V/Line, want some newer bogies for your H sets? Better still, want some cheap 75' carriages to make more LH sets? Or "C" sets, if the ...

If the Liberals win this election, there'd better be a coup.

The people in charge will make sure the X'Trap MK2s are only allowed to run to Craigieburn, Upfield and Sandringham just to make it difficult. If that does happen, there is still *a* single spark whic ...

[quote=Nightfire]As for getting to the terminals, elevated walkways would likely be available, It would be good to see Route 59 extended along Melrose Drive and Airport Drive and do a one way circuit ...

I thought it was Connex that brought in the Early Bird system, hence why trams and buses (and V/Line?) aren't free. Just like the Free Tram Zone, the free trains in the morning only benefit the few pe ...

Wendy Lovell just might want to watch her back after her recent remark regarding public housing.

One I haven't seen mentioned yet - Merri and Westgarth.

Have a look at historian's first post on the subject -  Saturday 19th.
