New train lines to Melton and Wyndham axed from rail plans (www.theage.com.au)

Two new rail lines the Andrews government promised to build in Melbourne’s outer west have been axed, watering down an election commitment to deliver frequent Metro train services to some of the nation’s fastest-growing suburbs.

But I suppose the rail loop that serves all 10 people who currently catch the 903 bus is still on the agenda with a price tag of $100 billion. Good stuff Andrews.

srl is stupid on many levels but it would definitely be heavily used, iirc monash has the biggest bus terminal in Melbourne.

Still, it's nice that they bend over backwards to keep the election promise of tax cuts for the rich. Thanks guys.
