    Intuitively I’ve always figured that the tunnel will be underwhelming in its benefits, apart from those on its line(s). This seems to confirm that intuition somewhat.

    I can see the headlines now about the cost and Melbourne getting nothing for it, relative to the cost that is.

      underwhelming in its benefits, apart from those on its line(s).

      you can kinda say this for any infrastructure project though. The infrastructure project that I’d think would benefit the most amount of lines is a fix to the diesel fume issue at Southern Cross, but that’d still not improve Sandringham or Stony point lines at all

      I personally think it’d be better to spend money on service frequency and quality rather than infrastructure but it is what it is
