Although it's not entirely relevant to this page (as it's not a current proposal), I felt it interesting to note this article [1] from The Age mentions a 1963 proposal for a station betweeen Flinders Street Station and Spencer Street Station, at the intersection of Flinders and King streets.

There don't seem to be any (or many) of the generally well-researched/thought out PTUA proposals here. If there are no objections I believe these should be added, as the PTUA suggestions seem to be, at the least, considered by the public and government. The list of suggestions can be found at [2] Natronomonas 06:06, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
Three changes were made on 02 April 2007 - these are unsourced (barring their poor spelling and style). E.g. stations on the proposed Doncaster East line. My main reference for that rail line (Melway #14) does not show stations at Chandler Hwy and Burke Road. The mini bus proposal for the City of Manningham can be sourced (Manningham Leader, 28 March 2007), but then, it is not relevant as it is a bus proposal, not rail. Thoughts? - Bricks J. Winzer 14:20, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
The paragraph beginning The Cranbourne East proposal has re-emerged in recent years... only cites one source from 2001. — The Storm Surfer 22:18, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
Being a resident of Cranbourne, I can reassure Wiki-readers that this proposal has been talked about in many different newspaper articles and council meetings. I am sure there are other sources out there.
Also, the possible location for the Cranbourne East station is not likely to be on the corner of NW-Cranbourne and Berwick-Cranbourne roads, as this is too far from the current disused line. The most likely positioning (as debated in council planning sessions) would be (-38.11107, 145.29845), as this is council land and is currently undeveloped, and sits on the disused line. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.219.210.244 ( talk) 12:05, 22 November 2011 (UTC)
I reckon we should keep the 1969 rail map image, it adds some authority to the article and is interesting regardless. So why was it removed?

The new Network Development Plan - Metropolitan Rail [3],dated December 2012, on the PTV website lists numerous new rail extensions etc. planned for the next 20 years, for example the Clifton Hill to City rail tunnel for the South Morang line, an extension to Fisherman's Bend, the reopening of the Upfield to Somerton link, electrification to Wallan, Baxter electrification, Werribee to Wyndham Vale and electrification to Geelong, among other things. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.107.147.187 ( talk) 06:14, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

I've restructured the article to have three sections: under construction, current plans, and proposals. This is closer to the structure of the proposed Melbourne tram extensions article, and I think makes more sense. It means at a glance a reader can see easily which proposals are current government policy and which ones are older or independent proposals. My metric was plans announced by the state government (which reflects the train proposal map), though happy to discuss the details. I think long-term this article needs to be restructured to be chronological (like the New York Subway extensions article and the Sydney Trains extensions article), so you can more clearly see when and where the proposals come from (e.g. having the PTV network development plan proposals all in one section). Would love to hear other editors thoughts. Gracchus250 ( talk) 06:39, 9 May 2019 (UTC)
Proposed Melbourne rail extensions#Suburban Rail Loop
Hi, I've noticed an error in this article. Under the SRL section it says "The Suburban Rail Loop (SRL) would connect the existing station at Cheltenham" which also links to the Melbourne Metro Station of Cheltenham.
This is incorrect as the SRL is technically stopping next to Southland Station which you can see here.
It is unclear weather the SRL station will also be called Southland and connect directly to Southland or if it will take on the name of Cheltenham and have connections to Southland (like Flinders and Town Hall).
Is it possible to rewrite that line to the following:
"The Suburban Rail Loop (SRL) would connect to the existing station of Southland located in Cheltenham"
Thanks. Esc.Trains ( talk) 07:01, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
