Ian Cook, Legend!

Great video! Would be a great asset nowadays even if much people dont use it.

[@VictorianTransportHistory]

Great video, also went to your speech at Northcote.

[@MaxProduction16]

Been there, done that (with you)

[@shrikelet]

Wow. I've never even heard of this proposal before!

[@Neojhun]

My childhood home was off Albert Street Preston. A railway between Alphington and Preston seems rather small and limited use in the modern context. But it was very different a long time ago when alternative options were rarer.

Ironic that Alphington was where Tommy Bent's proposed outer circle line was to cross the Yarra (the old Chandler Highway bridge was the old railway bridge).

[@robertaquilina3848]

there was a 1948 parliamentary committee on this railway I have it somewhere in my collection cheers

1:51 - how many times has the duplication Bunyip-Longwarry been proposed, started, and left unfinished?

[@thepiratequeen89]

If they had built this line, my grandparents' house wouldn't exist!

[@CptnKase]

Imagine a world where the state government purchased large tracts of land to build affordable houses and critical cross suburb connecting infrastructure that are both desperately needed... Hold up....
