@econoadabsurdam No they wouldn't you idiot

@caneyehoe Aren't we all?

@PeterBent565 @VictorianLabor Metro tunnel was 100% necessary as a precursor for Melton Electrification, without it the necessary capacity would not exist. Also COVID has collapsed peak commuter numbers, pushed back the need for more capacity a decade or more.

@Philssay Easy to build extension on platform above ground, not very easy to build extension on platform below ground.

@econoadabsurdam @88888sAccount Because it's not even close to being right you idiot

[Communist Ned Flanders @Red_NedFlanders]

@econoadabsurdam Not sure where you found that little graph, but some truly fascinating assumptions. All the infrastructure disappears after 50 years? No residual value? Just depreciates down to nothing? Patronage less than a third of what is reasonably expected?

@MakeMelbGreat @MelbOnTransit WGT was a department plan, the department came up with many bad ideas and if they'd had their way we'd be building several more expensive and less beneficial projects.

@bazakel @BinManIan None of those things are particularly useful

@tonytardio Glad you agree that fixing potholes is a waste of money

@TiredConserv @twensor Snowy has blown out by 800%, whereas even the 'scathing' report by VAGO indicates the SRL might blow out by ~5%

@BhagsNStonks @econoadabsurdam The West gate tunnel was recommended as part of the East West link, even the liberals business case found it was the more useful section.

@econoadabsurdam @eaglesbirdies Why would you need to raise $7b per year and not over 40 years?

[Communist Ned Flanders @Red_NedFlanders]

@econoadabsurdam This isn't true, it would be an extra $5.40 per DAY, not per trip, which would still be less than Sydney's daily maximum. Also not very honest of you to not mention fares are currently half price.

[Communist Ned Flanders @Red_NedFlanders]

@libertyscott @econoadabsurdam Inland rail was much worse, all airport lines are worse. Considering how much each Sydney Metro blew out by their BCR is very similar to SRLs, whose costings have been on the money. Cross River rail had a worse BCR even before cost blowouts.

@KatCopseyGreens In 2016 the NELink was Infrastructure Victoria's top recommendation.

@CBadcock @MelbOnTransit If he'd listened to them it'd be worse, few of their ideas were worthwhile

[Communist Ned Flanders @Red_NedFlanders]

@baazaa9 @CBadcock @ellensandell Problem is that IV likes a bunch of even worse projects like MM2, airport rail etc. so they're really not objective at all.

@baazaa9 @MelbOnTransit I'm not talking about new roads, I'm just talking about upkeep.
