City Limits - Railway Safety and The Future of Trains in Vic

Wednesday, 4 March 2020 - 9:00am to 10:00am

Kevin is joined this week by our resident transport guru John McPherson (and Paddy from Monday Breakfast on the panel!).

This week we discuss the issues surrounding the recent signal failure and ensuing railway accident resulting in the deaths of two workers and hospitalisation of 11 passengers on the Wallan line. We also provide listeners with some more info about the airport rail and other suburban lines, including capacity, price, speed, frequency and the need for track upgrades (and accommodating for Melbourne's growing population). 

Wednesday 9:00am to 10:00am
Urban environment issues, analysing government services, both federal and state and local campaigns.
