Labor Pledges $ 530 Million to Expand Hurstbridge Line in Marginal Seats

Prime Minister Daniel Andrews, who oversaw the first stage of upgrading the Hurstbridge line between Heidelberg and Rosanna, said only the Labor Party could trust the next step

. Andrew Andrews said on Wednesday morning, surrounded by Eltham MP Vicki Ward and Danielle Green, MP for Yan Yean.

Trains ran every 10 minutes to Eltham and Montmorency, every six and a half minutes to Greensborough, and every 20 minutes to Hurstbridge, Diamond Creek, and Wattle Glen. Two additional Hurstbridge services will also be added

Mr. Andrews stated that he was confident that the single stretch of track that runs on the Eltham Trestle Centennial Bridge would not cause bottlenecks.

He said: [The Coalition] "[The Coalition] can not have talked to too many locals when they had this plan because it does not do it". It does not make sense to impinge on the footy club, essentially to eliminate them. The early childhood center should also leave, and this historic badet [the bridge] would simply be rotten. "

But the Liberal candidate for Eltham Nick McGowan fought back, saying the government 's plan would" create the bottlenecks of the future "." And make the 10 – minute services d & # 39; Eltham impossible.

The Coalition would add additional lanes through Eltham along the historic bridge. While this may eat away at some of the oval, it would not have an impact on the local club or daycare, says McGowan.

"They are scary and they know it," he said of the Labor Party

. The workers also promise to add five more rush hours to Mernda after releasing capacity at the Clifton Hill junction, which joins the Hurstbridge and Mernda lines.

"This will involve a realignment of tracks, Ms. Allan said:

The government has removed two Hurstbridge line crossings this year, at a cost of over $ 400 million, and has doubled one kilometer of 1.2 kilometers being the only track section for $ 140 million, John O. Brien, a resident of Eltham, said that improving the train line was needed and that 39 He would "evaluate" the competing railway promises of Labor and the Coalition before deciding how he would vote in November

In the 2014 election, Eltham's work was won by a margin of 0.8 per cent. [ad_2]
