Victorian Government,Melbourne Airport Rail,Sunshine Train Station

A mediator appointed to help break a deadlock over the Melbourne Airport rail link has recommended the federal and state governments not give anymore consideration to an underground station at the Tullamarine site.

A mediator appointed to help end the long-running dispute over the Melbourne Airport rail link has made a major call over the station location.

Mr Scales also offered Melbourne Airport operators Australia Pacific Airports the chance to further press its case for below-ground trains. "The report recommended against further Commonwealth and state consideration of an underground option at this time. "We remain consistent in our view that an underground station at the airport is the right solution for the traveller, the airport and the city," a spokesperson said.

"We look forward to working with the Commonwealth and state governments to leverage existing business cases that resulted in world class underground stations, including at Western Sydney Airport. One of the other recommendations was for the Commonwealth and state government to embark on a"no regrets" approach to work at Sunshine station.
