I found this comment interesting. I’ve often used the number 48 tram off peak and it is much faster than the Eltham train and far more frequent. I’ve been told of a person who regularly used the tram to get to and from the city that it was very good and very frequent. If there was one issue it was the number of people who used it up to Richmond but after that it was good.

I wish someone would do a comprehensive report and list the reasons why the tram couldn’t be extended to Doncaster Shoppingtown and why the Box Hill train couldn’t loop to Doncaster Shoppingtown as well. Doing this would provide two forms of transport at a fraction of the cost of a train down the freeway.

Public transport groups always knock whatever is suggested for roads and I suspect the same is probably true for motoring organisations. We need a balanced view. A view created independently from the government and not funded by the government.
