Oh by the way guess what, those 50 Level Crossings will be done in the next 2 terms of this Government......No Money no worries, just writed out that blank cheque from that bottomless CHASM.....................
If you want to get angry then get angry at a Liberal administration that changed leaders halfway through their first term and yet still couldn't turn it around. Completely out of touch with what the electorate wanted.
Danny Andrew solution to East/West link. A shambles of a system that is supposed to take 5000 trucks off the road and feed them into a bottleneck near Footscray. Terriffic, by the way fellas, I work in the heavy transport industry................
I suppose they are new committees being set up to look into everything .again...............
50 level crossing were promised over 8 years, impossible! People I speak to have even said its hard enough to complete 3 a year and that = 24.Your talking about big ticket grade separation, that require Christmas holiday shutdowns to regrade the railway ?
Level crossings only will improve safety not traffic Aswell

Some crossings on the list all the works would be roadwork related (diverting a road via a new overpass over a railway) not touching the railway at all, like what was done at Westall, Somerton, Berwick, Altona North, Deer Park, etc
Your looking at it wrong Nightfire.I agree with you Grosso , just look back a couple of post, these Goons try to shoot you down in flames, a number of people on this Forum live in fairyland.............
It takes 14-18 days of 24 hour shifts to dig (includin all relevant earthworks) the ground up and place new track then approximately 4-8 weeks to get the station up and running and then complied.
If the work is done involving the railway, the railway is responsible for all the relative roadworks in conjunction with VicRoads.
50 level crossing over 8 years, impossible, heed my words.

Good luck with these. Little thing called a High Water table ( proximity to the bay ) might impede or impact any ideas re going under in any easy fashion , let alone trying to fashion turning lanes etc.
FRANKSTON LINE
- Seaford Rd SEAFORD
- Eel Race Rd SEAFORD
- Station St BONBEACH
Why is the talk of sinking the line at Bayswater??The bad news is that bridges are well and truly out because the political backlash is massive from "unsightly" developments. Hence the railway should be buried instead.
Mountain Hwy has room for building a bridge over existing railway.
My guess is buying 10 properties and building 2 bridges is cheaper than sinking the line and building a whole new station.
