Passenger lines proposed for reopening

The Mildura line, whilst closed to passenger rail services at present has seen State Government proposals for their reintroduction. The line is currently open to freight; while an upgrade to the line was announced in 2006, this is limited to improving the current 40 km/h (25 mph) maximum speed on many sections, and is not relevant to any hopes that a passenger train service might recommence.

 passenger rail services extended to the station every week, commencing 2010 at a cost of $50 million.

There was originally a planned upgrade to a fourth line: the Leongatha line in South Gippsland. This plan was dropped in May 2008 after progress had stalled for some years. A tourist line, the South Gippsland Tourist Railway, continues to operate along a section of the line. The Leongatha line still has a chance in the future of reopening. The Liberals said if they win the next Victorian election, they will reopen the line if the transport crisis gets worse. The Labour Government said in May last year they might leave the track from Cranbourne - Nyora if needed in the future. But it has a chance of becoming a rail trail

A rail trail is the conversion of a disused railway easement into a multi-use path, typically for walking, cycling and sometimes horse riding. The characteristics of former tracks—flat, long, frequently running through historical areas—are appealing for various development. The term sometimes also...
