$50b underground train network for Melbourne’s suburbs announced by Premier

A PROPOSED subway system linking Melbourne’s suburbs would carry passengers from the southeast to Melbourne Airport in 45 minutes, government modelling shows.

Premier Daniel Andrews today released “expert modelling” that predicts travel times from Cheltenham to the airport - 45 minutes - would be faster than the current car trip.

Box Hill to the Melbourne Airport would take 25 minutes and Monash Clayton to La Trobe Bundoora 25 minutes, he said.

Mr Andrews announced the radical $50 billion plan for a 90km subway rail system linking Melbourne’s booming suburbs yesterday.
