Just a quick question. Did the suburban (Electrified) line go past cranbourne & if so, how many stops/stations after did it go? Also, could someone say how many km's it would've been beyond there?
Thanks.
On this subject, it's my personal opion that this project wont be completed for some time. The M>Train feasability study undertaken in 2002 identified that it was'nt comercially viable at that point in time, but as a long term goal was. Before this project is started I think that the follow project need to be completed:
-Regional Fast Rail
-Caulfield to Dandenong rail project (Upwards of 2-3 Billion in my opion)
-New network wide computer signaling system
I think these will be completed before any work relating to cranbourne is started because they are 'Major money' events
After these, then something about the cranbourne line will be done. They probably wont do a second rate job on it & that's why they're not going to start it now. They'll get everything they want all over & done with in the one go. I beleive this would involved:
-Creating track to Cranbourne East or further
-Having two tracks
-Having another Platform for Merinda Park
-Having a one or two sidings for a few trains, similar to Pakenham
