Rail-2035

Metrodreamin’

Not a fantasy map, but a slightly optimistic prediction of what the network might look like.

Optimistic aspects:

  • SRL East, Airport Rail, City Loop Reconfiguration
  • Quadruplication to Camberwell
  • Melton electrification
  • Extension from Werribee to Wyndham Vale
  • Consistent stopping patterns for Ringwood express trains
  • Different colours for V/Line services
  • Showing the actual path of Albury trains ##Pessimistic aspects:
  • No Geelong electrification (haven’t heard anything about this in a long time)
  • No Clyde extension (desperately needs to be done, but let’s face it)
  • No Baxter extension (probably not necessary, and the government has dropped it as a priority)
  • No Metro Tunnel 2 (I think it will be done eventually, but not before the SRL opens)
  • Still using individual line names
  • Frequency of trains still mid
  • PTV has changed their name again, because we’re not allowed to stick to a branding for more than a decade

Anything you think is overly optimistic? Overly pessimistic? Things I missed or forgot about?
