craigieburn

Now they’re saying that we’ll get the extension to Craigieburn next year. I am looking forward to Broady not being the terminus anymore though whether it will make any practical difference is difficult to glean. It probably won’t, man. I spoke to a woman at Moonee Ponds station last year who really didn’t want city/electric services extended to C’burn because she lives there and it would mean the end of express trains to the city. But really there should be express C’burn-Broady-Essendon-North Melbourne services anyway, particularly since half the passengers on the Broady line get off at Essendon.

I can’t understand why the extension is taking so long. They don’t have to build new tracks or anything just string up a few electric wires. We got a pamphlet in our letterbox a few weeks after we moved in to Lorraine Crescent with Peter Batchelor practically telling us it was time to buy a ticket to Craigieburn. I’m glad I didn’t. Anyway there is always the distinct possibility that Craigieburn suxs I wonder if it will be zone 2. I suppose so. It’s hard enough to justify Broady being in zone 2. Actually, it’s hard to justify the zoning altogether; people should be rewarded for living further out of the city if you ask me. But no-one did (tsk).
