Thanks for that – hadn’t considered the Puffing Billy line!

A longer list of early level crossings removals can be found over at Vicsig.

On the subject of early level crossing removals, Inkerman Street on the Sandringham line was grade separated in 1893. Earlier LXRs were Jolimont Rd, Punt Road, Swan Street and Mount Alexander Road (Essendon).

I’m looking forward to level crossings along there being removed. Specifically:
1. Station St, with the addition of a bike path across the tracks connecting Main St to The Blvd (wasn’t done as part of the new Thomastown Station, and Station St crossing is far from ideal location for that route); and
2. The junction design for a Wollert extension near Lalor Station.

Looking at this 2010 diagram, the following level crossings were expanded:

– Keon Park to Thomastown: Settlement Road and Heyington Avenue
– Thomastown to Lalor: Thomastown station (pedestrian), ‘Mann’s Crossing’, Darrick Street (pedestrian)
– Lalor to Epping: Partridge Street (pedestrian), Childes Road

How does the the M80 Trail fit into your plan? Would it be up on the bridge between the Ring Road and Fitzgerald Rd extension?

$12 million to extend the Epping line to South Morang!

And less than $10 million for a 1.5-kilometre extension of the Cranbourne line and new station at Cranbourne East?

For Fitzgerald Road the level crossing at Ardeer, I’d send the road over both the railway and parallel road at the same level as the Western Ring Road, then loop around back to round level via acquired land, with a north facing ‘T’ intersection with Forrest Street / Tilburn Road.

Meanwhile the Ballarat line west to Melton is being duplicated through the numerous existing level crossings between Caroline Springs and Melton – many of them are just minor roads, but with the new housing development currently underway, they’ll be dual carriageways with a 80 km/h speed limit within a decade.
