Possible Extension
Some have suggested, including a former lord mayor of the City of Melbourne, that the line is under utilised in periods outside of events at the racecourse and showgrounds (most of the year) and should be extended to the west to service suburbs such as Maribyrnong (including a new housing estate being proposed by the State Government) and Keilor whilst also servicing the nearby Victoria University campus and the Highpoint Shopping Centre.

—Marshall McLuhan (1911–1980)
“A dense undergrowth of extension cords sustains my upper world of lights, music, and machines of comfort.”
