The new tunnel will serve Dandenong Frankston line passengers and in addition to the new stations (at Domain and Montague) it will stop at four of the five city loop stations (bypassing Flinders St). By contrast the original tunnel proposal would have only stopped at two of the city stations (Melb Central and Flinders St.).

Now to me, a train stopping at 80% of the stations in the CBD is likely to be much more valuable than one stopping at only 40%. So whatever the other relative merits of the old plan and the new plan may be, the new plan will be much more useful to the majority of people travelling to the city.

Edited to correct error.
