Won't believe it until I see it. Trains to MEL, along with a few other places in Melbourne, have been talked about for decades. If they do decide to actually build it, I think it needs to be a regular fare station unlike the airport stations at SYD and BNE. Not only will it help avoid the train being a white elephant, but it would also put pressure on MEL to bring its parking charges back to the land of reality. Stops at Footscray, North Melbourne and Sunshine (for Napthine's proposed route) would also be good so passengers from the west (both Metro and V/Line) don't have to backtrack. It would also be a bit more useful if it went around the loop, especially for tourists.
