Upgrade Upfield Transport Corridor

The #Upfieldline needs 🛤️duplication between Gowrie to Upfield 🚉 for reliability and a 10 minute service, as well as extension to Craigieburn then Wallan 🚃

Time to get angry about lack of ALP plans to duplicate Upfield line and extend it. Vote for the Upfield line #upgradeupfield #springst #vicvotes https://t.co/tF1y6IKVGM

If the state government is serious about streamlining the Upfield line, they must duplicate the single track section, to allow more frequent, more reliable train services.

This bridge in #CoburgLakeReserve provided a good daytime option for bypassing Murray Rd danger when walking back from the 19 tram or Batman Station.

Anyone know how long it’s out of action @MerribekCouncil?

Melbourne is now bigger than Sydney, but its public transport services are more akin to "the perfect place to make a film about the end of the world."

@MelbOnTransit Upfield station was due to get a second platform as part of stage 2 Rail Network Development plan (Stage 2 within 10 years – ie 2012-2022), but nothing has happened. Complete silence from #springst #upgradeUpfield

[MelbourneOnTransit @MelbOnTransit]

Check out today's Age for a look at the Upfield line's poor peak frequency and reliability. No infrastructure reasons exist why it can't have shorter waits than 30 min evenings & 40 min Sunday mornings right now. https://t.co/rzi4WZCsTw #springst

@muzzlefreemadam @zdaniel Indeed, Infrastructure Australia identified an issue in the northern transport corridor in 2016, and Victorian state Government has ignored the issue. Hume Highway & Craigieburn rail line approaching capacity, Upfield line needs extension to Wallan https://t.co/k0prLU2NBq

[Upgrade Upfield Transport Corridor @UpfieldUpgrade]

Government quiet on delay to Brunswick #Skyrail, but we also need #UpfieldLine track duplication and extension to Craigieburn and Wallan to serve growing suburbs in the north, ease capacity issues on Craigieburn line. #UpgradeUpfield #publictransport https://t.co/e6MUopc4Il

We saw just last week how quickly things can turn, so please, stay across the warnings – and know what they mean for you and your family.

Stay informed using the VicEmergency app, by listening to ABC radio, or the VicEmergency hotline on 1800 226 226.

Today was warm, but for parts of our state – tomorrow is going to be an absolute scorcher.

That means an Extreme Fire Danger Rating forecast for the Wimmera, Mallee, Northern Country, South West, North Central and Central districts.

Good public transport is a cost of living issue. If your train is so infrequent that connections get missed or your bus doesn't run on a Sunday then public transport ceases to be practical for many trips. That adds to travel costs. #springst

[MelbourneOnTransit @MelbOnTransit]

On a day like today the extra shade that well-designed skyrail can give is a real asset. Hugely different from trench rail whose parallel paths are shadeless heat islands. Not helped by legible direct walkability being an afterthought in some designs.

[MelbourneOnTransit @MelbOnTransit]

How Chelsea's level crossing removal is costing local trade. The 'grab a coffee before the train' is now a thing of the past at Chelsea since the LXRP removed direct walking access to the shops opposite. Direct crossing needed! @TimRichardsonMP #springst

[Upgrade Upfield Transport Corridor @UpfieldUpgrade]

@TrueBelievers15 @GlenroyNick Coburg-Moreland is the only substantial dedicated bike path by LXRP. All other projects only got shared use paths. I suspect because #Upfieldbikepath is arterial, and a substantial campaign for maximum cycling infrastructure including an elevated veloway. Go for the max.

[Upgrade Upfield Transport Corridor @UpfieldUpgrade]

So this is the Upfieldline, especially north of Coburg: all Labor seats. Line needs duplication, extension to Wallan, and increased frequency #UpfradeUpfield

[MelbourneOnTransit @MelbOnTransit]

If @VictorianLabor want to stop its younger voters drifting to @VictorianGreens, non-establishment parties like @vic_socialists or independents it needs to address concerns eg housing & PT. Buses that don't run Sundays or trains only every 40 min won't cut it! #springst

[7NEWS Melbourne @7NewsMelbourne]

Commuters in Melbourne’s north are rallying for better public transport. Brunswick locals say there are no accessible tram stops on Sydney Road for elderly and disabled passengers. https://t.co/5zYfOfFT4D #7NEWS

Short shunting and pissing off Upfield rail line residents. Hits hard especially folk living north of Coburg #upgradeUpfield

Where I walk most days to #Pentridge to shop…

Daughter walks here most days to work and PT….

[Public Transport Users Association @ptua]

This was the danger with lowering V/Line fares without adequate services. Now we need services to increase to meet demand #MoreServicesPlease

@AussieWirraway Good to see Upfield line extension to Wallan to cater for demographic growth in northern transport corridor. Population north of Craigieburn will be approaching 100k by 2031 #UpgradeUpfield
