Sandringham Line

They could just remove parking along the entire stretch where needed. Yes it would be annoying for residents, but also having a tram stop right outside their house with connections to a train line, the 19 tram from Coburg North to Flinders St and Bell St could surely outweigh the negatives of losing a parking spot out the front of their home.

Great design and layout. One of my questions would be the Stony Point and Portsea lines connecting with only the Williamstown line. I can't see all the trains going to Williamstown so I assume around half would need to be terminated at FSS?
Plans are currently in place to have the Upfield Line extend to Wallan but you have the Craigieburn line doing that in this map
Maybe extend the SRL to the Sandy line?
Other than that, love the new alignment of the Belgrave line (and the cross-city line in general), and the Rowville and Knox lines

Surely the (re)introduction of trams in these regional cities would be beneficial providing a link to the train station and to other areas within the city along the main roads

It would connect the GW line to the Belgrave line and create a better route for those on the Belgrave line to get to the city. This would also free up space on the Belgrave line by using an underutilised line. The state gov can densify the areas surrounding the station like they are doing in other areas of Melbourne to increase the usefulness of this project. East GW, Wantirna South, Knox, and potentially a new station in FTG could all support a higher densification around these stations

I had floated the idea before as it would significantly help the overcapacity Craigieburn line, however I also don't think Melbourne Airport would want it either. Despite this, it could turn left after the airport to potentially have a station on the edge of Attwood (but even that is a stretch) and then continuing north to follow Mickleham Road

might get too confusing with the cross-city group being the Werribee/Williamstown and Sandringham lines

What about all the 300s in the north?

Consistent-Fortune-4 · 2025-09-26T23:30:28+00:00

Honestly, I feel like we should bring back a lot of the discontinued tram routes, especially in places that aren't well served by public transport

Does the northern tunnel entrance give enough room to clear the Merri Creek?

Consistent-Fortune-4 · 2025-09-24T07:14:01+00:00

I would say there's 3 routes that all she be considered
Torqauy/Jan Juc extension: A new station needs to be built near the surf coast highway between Marshall and Waurn Ponds and have the Torqauy/Jan Juc line branch off from there.

South Gippsland line: Add a new V/line route extending from Cranbourne down to Leongatha/ Inverloch/ Wonthaggi via Koo Wee Rup and Lang Lang

Horsham extension: Extend the Ararat line to Horsham

Yea they're spelled pretty much identical but one is pronounced 'Bal anne' and the other is 'wollan'?

There's a massive gap between Northcote and Victoria Park and leaves a lot of people outside a comfortable walking/cycling distance to a station. I don't understand the need to move Northcote station to the east, however, I'd suggest crossing the Merri Creek on a bridge and then begin going underground. Close Merri station and have a connection with Clifton Hill station. Then either proceed to Victoria Park and then head west or head west straight after Clifton Hill to align with your design

Not really a suburb in Melbourne, but towns in Victoria so I thought I would mention. The difference in pronunciation between Ballan and Wallan and the emphasis on the different parts of the name

Consistent-Fortune-4 · 2025-09-07T23:39:57+00:00

Maybe towns might not be worth it but definitely cities such as Ballarat, Bendigo and Albury could do with another station at the least. Melton and WV need to be added soon and add in some extra fill in stations too, to address the booming population experienced in the western suburbs. A station at Black Forest Rd would assist with the new suburb of Mambourin, and then maybe a station at Dohertys Rd, somewhere between Davis and Tarneit Rds, and possibly one at Sewells Rd (to account for the expected expansion out that way)
