The rail yard – built to plug a major "shortfall" in maintenance and storage space – was needed to avoid mass V/Line train cancellations, bus replacement services and higher operational costs, leading to "irrevocable reputational damage", an internal V/Line briefing warned.
The need for the rail yard became urgent after the removal of the Footscray stabling site to make way for the West Gate Tunnel in October last year. But even after the Wyndham Vale stabling yard is built, this would not be enough to meet the needs of the growing network, V/Line warned."The lack of maintenance infrastructure will continue to impact on performance ...Opposition transport infrastructure spokesman David Davis said any impact on the rail yard's operations would be disastrous for V/Line and potential stabling for Metro's trains planned for the site.
How close to houses........Whats Andrew's labor government thinking, shitting in their own backyard. Guess safe labor seat says why.
I don't blame them or the people who live near this mess.
It would actually be pretty impressive that VLine provide a worst service than what it is currently

What a piece of trash he is for that comment. M_McCormackMP What about the firefighter sacked for speaking his mind by the RFS Batemans Bay captain. The Baremans Bay captain needs sacking not him. He was right 'Tell the PM to Get F'cked'. What a gutless effort by the RFS.
