The Victorian Government has announced a $12 million blitz to upgrade rail infrastructure on Melbourne’s Glen Waverly line.

 

Premier Ted Baillieu said the upgrade to the line was the next stage of a series of major works to be undertaken to improve Melbourne’s rail network and public transport reliability.

 

"The Coalition Government is investing $247 million in 2012/13 to address the public transport maintenance backlog left behind by the Brumby Labor Government," Mr Baillieu said.

 

"The project will include the replacement of 45,000 sleepers and 250 metres of fencing, platform works and renewal of overhead wiring and signals,” State Transport Minister Terry Mulder said.
