Virginia Governor Andrew (Daniel Andrews) plans to complete three major rail projects before November`s state elections to ease pressure on commuters, the Times reported. From June to August, some of Melbourne`s most congested rail lines will increase train service during peak hours and at night.
It was reported that the state had invested 1.6 billion Australian dollars in the construction of a "elevated railway," of which the final part of the southeast of Melbourne will open on June 18 this year. This will greatly enhance the service of the Parknan (Pakenham) and Cranien (Cranbourne) lines.
When the "viaduct" is fully opened, between 7: 00 p.m. and 10:00 on weekdays, there will be a train every 10 minutes between Dantonne (Dandenong) and Murben.
But before the full opening of the "viaduct", there are some lines between Dantonnon and the urban areas that need to be closed for 20 days, so between May 29 and June 17, passengers back from (Caulfield Station) at Corfield Station will be affected. You need to choose to take the bus.
At the end of this year, after the completion of the construction of the peace crossing of the (Hurstbridge) tunnel in Herstbury, the A $600m Menda (Mernda) extension line, The operation schedule for the (South Morang) and Herstbridge routes in the northern part of Melbourne will also be completely adjusted.
The southern Mojon line, which serves the northern part of Melbourne, will have three new sites and is expected to host 8000 more passengers a day. During the morning rush hour, there will be five more trains from Menda and four more at night. Overall, there will be an additional 980 train services a week between Menda and the city.
After a A $ one hundred and forty million one hundred and ninety nine thousand nine hundred and ninety nine renovation project between Heidelberg (Heidelberg) and (Rosanna) in Rosana completed in August, the timetable for the operation of the Hurstbury line in northeast Melbourne will be adjusted to four more trains per day during peak hours.
It is reported that the Victorian government will provide funding for these additional train flights in the fiscal year 2018 / 19.
Bowen (Daniel Bowen), a spokesman for the public transport user association (Public Transport Users Association), praised the government`s plan. He pointed out that the Menda and Hirstbury lines, which are often overcrowded, will be popular with the crowd as they increase train frequency during peak hours. But he also said the government particularly needs to keep an eye on the Menda route, which is growing very quickly.
