The annual patronage for the 2012-13 year was 225.5 million passenger trips. As it is an efficient way to commute, there is considerable pressure on the State Government to increase the coverage of rail services and expand the rail network. A train to the Tullamarine International Airport from the City with links to the suburban lines is long overdue. Most of the rail track in the suburbs is above ground as shown here but there is a largely underground rail loop in the City centre.

Hi Nick,
ReplyDeleteI especially like trains because my father worked on the railroad. Thanks for playing today.
Have a Beautiful Blue Monday!
I am delighted to travel by speedy and comfortable trams or trains, but not buses. I hate petrol pollution.
ReplyDeleteLet the train network grow and grow!
Love trains...of course metro trains aren't the same, but they are still neat. Interesting post!
