Labor Leader Bill Shorten will on Sunday pledge $10 billion to improve Melbourne’s railways if the party wins the May 18 federal election.

The injection of funds will go towards the suburban railway loop unveiled by Premier Daniel Andrews in 2018, which is designed to loop through middle and outer suburbs and provide a connection between railway lines that sprawl out

from the city centre. It builds on the $5 billion promise already made for the new airport rail link, which will be one of the loop's 12 new underground stations. The project is expected to get underway in 2022. Image: News Corp Australia
