Any chance of delivery on transport promises, Premier?
Sick and tired of rubbish public transport? You're far from alone.
FOR too long public transport has been the poor cousin to what the Government considered were more pressing policy areas, and commuters have suffered.
This has occurred at a time when train patronage has grown by more than 30 per cent in the past three years. Indeed, on one morning last October at the Caulfield station, most trains between 8am and 8.30am carried more than 900 passengers, with the 8.23 squeezing in 1035. Similarly at Clifton Hill, the 8.13am and 8.20am services averaged more than 1000 passengers. And this when the Government considers any more than 798 passengers in a six-carriage train "a load breach".

Rail project fast-tracked
THE Brumby Government has fast-tracked a major northern suburbs rail project in a move designed to appease commuter angst and unclog the embattled train network.
The Clifton Hill track duplication will be finished early next year - 12 months ahead of schedule.
The Hurstbridge line has only a single track on the existing bridge over the Merri Creek between Clifton Hill and Westgarth stations.
Once finished the additional track on the Hurstbridge line will remove the bottleneck of backed-up trains that has been occurring on the single track for years.

Fatal rail smash crossing needed boom gates: union
The Rail, Tram and Bus Union says a level crossing in north Queensland where two train drivers were killed should have had boom gates.
The men died when the high-speed tilt train they were driving hit a semi-trailer at a crossing near Cardwell on Thursday.
The union's Owen Doogan says it has long been campaigning for boom gates at busy crossings across Queensland.

Vintage rail carriage makes road trip
A 1949 train carriage has been returned to Adelaide for restoration at the National Railway Museum.
It has been keen to get hold of the sleeper carriage for 20 years, as only a few remain.
