@hamhammer27 Zero percent chance Libs would be on board with IV recs. Most of it is too woke even for Labor.

[Apothem Data @apothemdata]

@OperationalInc1 I'm all for that. A lot could be learned from austere European suburban stations. The upside is this style are often faster to access between public boundary and the platform.

[Apothem Data @apothemdata]

@OperationalInc1 That is the issue to avoid. Improved underpass too (maybe)

[Apothem Data @apothemdata]

@OperationalInc1 Anyone who wants anything other than the existing station exactly as it is, relocated 100m north that MARL trains will bypass may be disappointed.

@3Sentinel4 @2024dion European ring road highways are typically much further from the downtown and function more to keep cars away than as a means of entry. Kansas City ring has radius of <0.5mi, Paris, Amsterdam rings are >3mi radius

@mentallyworld Even worse when it's your neighbour. Even-even worse when you're in the car with your friend driving.

@thiccyth0t @shrekt133 @apex_intern Self sustained monarchy of the wealthiest individuals? You don't think that ends in a violent collapse?

[Apothem Data @apothemdata]

@OperationalInc1 It was the gov that implied there would be changes. Should the gen public understand the nuances of city loop congestion? People are also right to have a big sook about no service improvement at all from LXR after years of inconvenience borne by PT users.

If you're interested. Some interesting details in it.

[Apothem Data @apothemdata]

@tayser82 Not to mention just holding $2b in land would probably gain at least $1.6b NPV in 10 years.

[Apothem Data @apothemdata]

@tayser82 According to FOI'd approval brief for cwlth contribution, there is over $2b of land being acquired. Given most of it is probably low density res/comm/ind at the moment, and that they won't need all of it once it's done that's a decent amount to potentially add value to.

@WarkickBrown @hamhammer27 They will be further away from each other than State Library and Melbourne Central, and require you to tap off and cross the road, so I'm not surprised about the different names. Big green train was locked in on day one.

[Apothem Data @apothemdata]

@retrobike_c16 It seems very likely that in the next budget there is more money committed, but Vic didn't even ask for $10b. The AFR is pretty poor at SRL related reporting, with a pretty obvious bias against it.

[Apothem Data @apothemdata]

@retrobike_c16 The AFR is conflating a lot of details. The submission was made by Vic, the ERC confirmed the Australian government owned at least $10b which could be spent. No extra money has yet been committed.

[Apothem Data @apothemdata]

@tayser82 That's just the contracted packages too. Billions more in dev work, owners costs and land acquisition.

[Apothem Data @apothemdata]

@OperationalInc1 Why they didn't spend a few million more of the acquisition budget to just wipe out that pocket of Heatherton I don't know. Big Build'ing in every corner of the state and SRL is the only one causing people Havana Syndrome.

@tayser82 The inevitable outcome after a few generations

[Apothem Data @apothemdata]

@MelbOnTransit In a sick way it is hard to justify paying for the existence of IV when the government has no interest in following any of their recommendations.

@kennettstan @bradpsychology Allan, posing for this photo, probably doesn't even know what a furry is. You on the other hand probably think about them a lot.
