Proposed Melbourne Rail Extensions
Several proposals have been put forward by various groups to expand the Melbourne rail network—proposals for additional rail lines, extensions to existing lines, as well as electrification to existing lines and new stations on existing lines. Some of these plans were so seriously considered at various times that they appeared in the Melway street directory, and on suburban train destination rolls. As of November 2006 a number of these plans continue to be discussed by the Department of Infrastructure, local councils, the Victorian Labor Party, Victorian Greens, and several other groups.
