For 125 billion dollars I thought this was going to be high speed rail line between Australian cities. But it is just Melbourne 😅😅😆😆🤣. Only 90 km for 125 billion, are fcuking kidding me on??!! This seems like shocking missmanagement of funds for a cost this high.
Australians are paid well and so labour costs a lot of money to make these projects happen. Also when rates are going up, the cost of these projects increases.
It's not actually $125bn. That number came from the opposition, and was hugely biased in how it was created. It includes operations and future replacements and maintenance for fifty years following construction.
A little optimistic. SRL has a lot of issues such as a circuitous route and lack of station nodes compared to distance. Stage One should have at least two additional intermediate stations and could actually be shortened by about 2 km if a shorter route was taken, but still with interchange at all radial lines. If SRL were instead to be established as a medium capacity LRT Metro it could be delivered earlier and at some cost saving. It could have more stations, but have ROW with the use of arterial road medium alignments, elevation and some tunneling / underground stations etc. There will be hundreds of thousands of homes in suburbs where the line simply passes beneath with to access. The line should firstly have a direct interchange at Southland rather than a 400m egress. Then before the depot a surface station could be in place at a vast industrial zone which could be further developed for transit oriented dev. and an elevated station several km south, before Clayton would add extra passenger attraction. The Monash / Notting Hill - university precinct has its station node in an area which is speculative rather than directly at campus / bus interchange and then the route travels in a highly circuitous alignment to Glen Waverley. This node was simply chosen through lobbyists and land speculators, rather than centering the corridor at My Waverley, more direct in line towards the terminus for Phase One at Box Hill. The first phase if it took the direct route from Monash to Box Hill with intermediate stations at Mt Waverley and Burwood would cut up to 2 km from the line, achieve radial line interchange and cost effectively savings could have been directed to completing the line at Doncaster Hill - where a railway station has been proposed for decades. For a fraction more of the overall cost for Phase One up to 3 extra stations could be placed along the line and a more direct route taken, while achieving the directive of the SRL to connect all the Eastern suburbs radial lines.
As a Melbournian who has watched this project develop from the beginning there are quite few errors in this presentation, but thats OK... its just funny watching this.... and watch the presenter murder the pronunciations... especially "Gippsland line"...
that's what happens when you give a poorly written, researched, and checked script to an AI voiceover and don't bother to run through the final video before posting. Blaming hospitalisation of heart and asthma patients on car emissions instead of the deadly Asthma Thunderstorms full of pollen is lazy researching. besides that, good video for the uninitiated.
It's a shocking waste of money. Ask anyone on the street here in Melbourne and no one wants it. With any luck it won't happen. Plus they never mention the fact it is not one continuous track. You will have to change trains 3 or 4 times to make a full circuit. Insane engineering indeed.
This video is wildly inaccurate, current estimates has the project (SRL East AND North) costing $29.214 billion in 2022 dollars. One questionable report had the figure at $125 billion but that includes 30 years of asset expenditure after opening to 2085. Unfortunately certain political individuals saw this figure and have been slapping it all over the place. I think its a good project but certain elements of the north section should be elevated as there are some wide roads like Mahoneys Rd and Camp rd. I also think Doncaster should have been included in the SRL east project as that area has been crying out for rail access since the 70s.
The current Victorian infrastructure investment is probably the first time in hundred years that a government is being proactive rather than waiting for congestion to be so painful they react. The opposition when last in government sat on their hands while rail infrastructure aged and started breaking down. They actually held a colouring competition for Flinders Street station. That was their biggest investment idea ever.
Still heaps of debate in Melbourne whether this project is worth the price tag, while the bulk of us continued struggling being stuck in CBD traffic almost every single day. Would be entirely happy to keep my car in the garage by then.
This is a seriously corrupt government project. It's not very transparent, asking for more money, its about to be called off because no one has any idea whats going on and the cost is the highest in Australian project history.
There is no need to spend billions on rail lines. Working from home is the answer. It saves time, money, and stress. It will reduce congestion and pollution.
I think it is shelved now, too many vested interests for little gain. A few metro lines would be cheaper and far more effective and would take in the Airport. There are many heavy rail lines that could effectively be adapted for metro, just as Sydney is doing with the Bankstown line and has already done with the Epping - Chatswood line. A very good use of funds.
It's depressing to think how much of your life is wasted just sitting at red lights. Now times that by 10 and it's the average for people living in Melbourne.
@@philliphunt1579 HAHAHAHA there is a Noodle Box in Bok Ell I'm shocked the Chinese haven't taken over the McDonald's and red rooster and KFC and turned the into noodle joints or something.
So, the Melbourne rail system crosses "the vast Australian landscape"? I missed that part in your video. I only saw examples of one local rail link.

Y’all then miss Glen Waverley but we consider that’s worth adding
Imagine a rail network criss-crossing Australia.
Now throw that image in the bin.
Seriously not happening 😂.

You murdered the names with bad pronunciation, but info was good.
I can't with these name pronunciations 💀
$125 Billion could chase smarter infrastructure projects.

It’s a piss poor channel. Hype and misinformation

I love how this channel provides all the knowledge rather than watching morbid news! Loved every bit of it.
Keep up the great work 🎉
At least the narrator didn’t pronounce the city name as “ Mel-Born!!
Pay ken ham ??? Jipps land ??
😂😂😂

had to stop watching after you mangled so many suburb names.
No kidding. Pay-Ken-Ham. 😂

Meanwhile India is making a high speed rail between two cities at one tenth of the cost 😂😂
Also 800 milion indians don't even have a toilet at home 😂
I find it funny how some of the suburbs are incorrectly pronounced
some?
A bit too complicated but loved the video. ✌️
That's very good plan for people 👍🔥🔥
Amazing video and narration 👍

Pronounced Mel-bin not mel-born.
It's acyually pronounced Mao-bourne

sure the pronunciation of place names can be a given when you’re not familiar with the place, but messing up basic english grammar… bruh…
