Melbourne residents will still have to wait almost a decade before taking a train to the city's airport despite a major breakthrough on a station at the Tullamarine site.
Jacinta Allan has confirmed a train line to Melbourne Airport will still be delayed by four years despite the airport throwing its support behind the state government's plans for an above-ground station.Melbourne residents will still have to wait almost a decade before taking a train to the city's airport despite a major breakthrough on a station at the Tullamarine site.
The airport instead finally came around to the state government's firm position of an above-ground stop. "But the consequence of the unreasonable position that has been taken... is that this project has been delayed by four years. That's the simple fact. "Our appetite was there some years ago to get this project done by 2029. And that was based on the best advice from our experts and engineers on how we could get this project delivered as quickly as possible," Ms Allan said.
But the Premier said the airport's desire for talks to occur over compensation for the land required for the above-ground station added an unresolved issue in to the mix.
