True Believers: Your edits to the crossing table have been good for clarity and information, thank you. However, the "preferred solution" column should be sourced for each level crossing or left blank if a reliable source does not exist. Triptothecottage ( talk) 06:24, 27 January 2019 (UTC)
@Triptothecottage It's on the Level Crossing Removal website. Here is the link to the general 25 extra crossings. https://levelcrossings.vic.gov.au/media/news/More-level-crossing-removals-on-the-way If you have a look at the fact sheets in each individual one or watch the videos, they show a preferred solution.
Sorry I forgot to add that in. I will do it now True Believers ( talk) 06:40, 27 January 2019 (UTC)
I have added some sections of topics that need to be added and expanded upon to allow the article to be given B-class status. Please feel free to expand upon these sections with text, photos, and media. DO NOT remove these sections even though they are blank- I will be adding to the sections in the near future alongside other members of the wikipedia community.

Hi, I will be your reviewer for this article. I have a bit of pre-existing knowledge of this project but I certainly don't know most of the details. This caught my eye because I am working on Draft:Victoria Park-Canning Level Crossing Removal Project in Perth which I hope to take to GAN one day. On my initial glance through, the article looks pretty good so I don't think there will be many things holding the review up. Expect to see my comments soon. Steelkamp ( talk) 04:07, 6 December 2022 (UTC)
Do you think the article is ready to be upgraded to Good Article status, or is there anything else that needs reviewing? I'd like to wrap this up soon (if that's ok with you). HoHo3143 ( talk) 12:34, 15 December 2022 (UTC)
In 2022, the Andrews government announced the removal of an additional 25 level crossings on the Upfield, Ballarat, Sunbury, Frankston, Werribee, and Hurstbridge lines by 2030, extending the lifespan of the project.I suggest simplifying this sentence to
In 2022, the Andrews government announced the removal of an additional 25 level crossings by 2030.as the previous sentences don't mention which specific lines and the "extending the lifespan of the project" is self-evident and not needed. Steelkamp ( talk) 08:01, 6 December 2022 (UTC)
As traffic levels increased, these began to become bottlenecks, both for road traffic as well as limiting the number of trains that can be run, especially at peak times.This sentence could be rewritten to

In late October 2022. Presumably those two annoucements weren't made on the same day so I suggest specifying the date each announcement was made. Steelkamp ( talk) 10:48, 12 December 2022 (UTC)
Many of these removals would be delivered together and included a number of closures.Change this to

In July 2021, the State Government announced...This doesn't fit in that section, as it's not relating to the 2018 election commitments. Steelkamp ( talk) 10:48, 12 December 2022 (UTC)
As of October 2022, 67 crossings had been removed and 34 train stations had been rebuilt as part of the project.Reference is dated 14 September 2022. Steelkamp ( talk) 08:01, 6 December 2022 (UTC)
In 1983, the level crossing at Station Street, Box Hill, was removed. Other level crossing removals include Dorset Road, Boronia, in 1998 and Middleborough Road, Laburnum, in 2007.Citation needed. Steelkamp ( talk) 08:01, 6 December 2022 (UTC)
In June 2014, six months prior to the Victorian state election...Seems to be closer to five months. 17 June 2014 to 29 November 2014. Steelkamp ( talk) 08:01, 6 December 2022 (UTC)

The sale of an income-generating asset through privatisation doesn't yield a "magic pudding" which can be used to fund non-income generating projects, such as urban infrastructure. I'll add a section on this. JQ ( talk) 18:20, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
I am not sure if a very short stub article is acceptable when it could be placed here, so I am proposing a discussion to merge LXRA to LXRP. It's only two paragraphs/three sentences and an infobox JuniperChill ( talk) 19:21, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
