  from what i read this is only for melton

  i guess they could be repurposed after melton electrification to run further out, so maybe that’s not so bad… but the campaign is targeting melton, and for that purpose its a shit idea

    The lines are currently served by smaller, diesel V/Line trains, with local communities waiting for promised electrification of the line to run larger, more frequent Metro services.

    That’s my fault for not reading the article

      if ever you think “maybe the liberals have a decent policy”, you’ve misunderstood the policy :p
