Yesterday it was revealed that the Victorian Government has ditched a planned airport rail tunnel in favour of using existing lines.
This has provoked an angry response from Melbourne Airport, which has demanded the tunnel go ahead:
Melbourne Airport has called on the state government to reject a multi-billion airport rail plan that uses existing tracks, arguing that a dedicated tunnel from the city to Sunshine was a “once-in-a-generation” opportunity that ensured western suburbs commuters were not short-changed.
