I'd be happy for the Vic Premier to announce the airport rail link is back on, even if it means the SRL is temporarily suspended. The airport train should never have been suspended in the first place. Sixty years we've been waiting for that!

"A dramatic collapse in popular support for the Victorian government has heaped pressure on Premier Jacinta Allan to accept an offer of an additional $2 billion in federal government funding to build a rail line to Melbourne Airport instead of demanding more cash for the Suburban Rail Loop."

@timrichards hear hear… the airport rail must be the priority. It appears completely tone deaf for them to prioritise SRL over it.

@Lukas @timrichards

I honestly think that improving Inter-city rail should be a priority over making it easier to fly.

Raillink to the CBD does not do anything to reduce congestion in the CBD.

@Salvo @Lukas To me it's about properly connecting a major transport hub (the airport) with other major transport hubs (ie railway stations). Should've been done back when the airport opened.
