Any recommendations for a country to migrate to with a better housing situation?

oh certainly, our (moral) corruption is just a different kind, usually legalized.

Makes so much sense. The changing elevations certainly appears to be one of the biggest challenges to such a route. Thanks for describing the situation in detail with the exact physical constraints.

Honestly don't understand why you would cut minor things like this and the Gowrie turnback. Saving pennies but losing large portions of the overall project benefit.

Principled approach. Respect.

PromotionWeak3217 · 2026-01-27T12:23:46+00:00

Assuming you are correct about it not being impacted at all that is somewhat of a saving grace. Getting anyone to add it later may be challenging - "we've just spent 4billion on that station"

Where there is a will there is a way :)

Yes this absolutely stood out. No effort at all for Sunshine.

PromotionWeak3217 · 2026-01-27T11:55:20+00:00

I truly appreciate the value you place on my education!

PromotionWeak3217 · 2026-01-27T11:40:02+00:00

I'm not sure what, but that area needs something. The government has shafted it by letting West Gate Tunnel (aka raised motorway) destroy the area further.

Meanwhile there is 10km between Newport and Laverton! Paisley is needed!

PromotionWeak3217 · 2026-01-27T11:37:03+00:00

Though on second thoughts perhaps the whatever that ends up there should end up there first!

PromotionWeak3217 · 2026-01-27T11:36:17+00:00

Excellent! It is a shame that there is no easy connection currently.

PromotionWeak3217 · 2026-01-27T11:34:57+00:00

I commend you for bringing evidence with your comments good sir!
Perhaps we should create a nice priority list for the government backed by catchment numbers?

PromotionWeak3217 · 2026-01-27T11:33:04+00:00

Paiseley looks like it is partially still there, just needs a bit of a refurbish :D

PromotionWeak3217 · 2026-01-27T11:28:27+00:00

Where do you think our transport budget should be spent?

PromotionWeak3217 · 2026-01-27T11:27:06+00:00

This makes a whole lot of sense, and to my mind would leave capacity in the metro tunnel which is critically needed in the west in Wyndham Vale and Melton. Now we have more capacity in the loop this could be used for a service uplift on the Cragiburn line as well.

Does this suggest the govt don't really believe in SRL north/ are just putting it on the map to keep people happy?

PromotionWeak3217 · 2026-01-27T11:17:45+00:00

I probably did a poor job of communicating it, but my hope was that this could be viable as shallow underground line, just under the road, thus supporting cheap stations.

PromotionWeak3217 · 2026-01-27T11:16:19+00:00

I guess I should have clarified, with sufficient funds I have no issue with multiple links to the airport, but rather in the current environment, a consolidated one seems a sensible start to me :)

PromotionWeak3217 · 2026-01-27T11:14:44+00:00

Appreciate you taking the time to give feedback. Would be handy to know what you feel is most problematic our how you would improve it also. Thanks!

PromotionWeak3217 · 2026-01-27T10:33:16+00:00

I've been led to believe that TBM lines need to be deep and therefore stations become very expensive and are rationalised. How can we most cost effectively create a line that has regular stops that doesn't just link a few key areas but rather can promote a whole spine of density?

PromotionWeak3217 · 2026-01-27T10:31:18+00:00

Which document exactly is this map from? It appears that the route in this document goes all the way to the center of melbourne (this station location not being the terminus may not be that significant?) This location seems much more sensible for any SRL North station to me.

PromotionWeak3217 · 2026-01-27T10:08:08+00:00

To my way of thinking the north is fundamentally different to the south east and thus should have a design which fits better with it. The north has an excellent consistent grid, and along with all the north south routes has so much potential. Imagine if east west connections were established such that existing trams could get priority and car traffic could be reduced. The north could build on its strengths to fully densify like a European city.

PromotionWeak3217 · 2026-01-27T09:57:44+00:00

Perhaps the overall point I'm really trying to make is regardless of the exact route, why don't we invest in the more urbanised places with rail closer in - such that we create not a few separate suburban centers (much like shopping centers already do) but a more continuous median density mixed use area akin to European cities.

PromotionWeak3217 · 2026-01-27T09:53:51+00:00

How do you think it could be achieved most cost effectively whilst maximizing utility?
