Cranbourne East to reappear on the Rail Map

they can always build another stand ...!!!! they can continue to develop it as per need. . If they are really smart they will design a 3-4 stage projest. This will enable them to put into place whater serious services infrastructure is neded and build the rest in stages.all harmonious..not higgledy piggledy !!

Lets just get it to 10-15 ..with AFL sanctions.. get us out there for the lower attending games ..then go from there.

Unlike the great farce aka Bubbledome.. you wouldnt constrict the design from the outset.

Hopefully there'll be 2 stations - Cranbourne East as planned and then an event station at Casey Fields.

I agree, I hope they allow to build cranbourne east station as practicably as possible to the Narre Warren Rd, then in turn build a Casey Fields station as well, thus having enough separation between the stations to be practical.

The problem with a Casey Fields station as such is that in all likely hood it would be as CaseyScorp suggests an event only station. If this is the case it would be hard to justify the business case of building th estation, rehabilitatinf the track , stinging the wire and fully upgrading the level crossing for a part time station. It would be argued that there is a station all but down the road. Again.. put the East Cranny/CaseyFields location adjacent to the B_C road but dont cross it and a lot of money is saved and all things are catered to.

No, I don't think so, 'belzebub59',,, the land the other side of the Casey ground, over the railway land is a Over 55's retirement estate (Bluehills Rise, and additionally a lot of land as I understand it around the "Clyde - Five Ways" road, down to the South Gippsland H/Way is to be subdivided. The Boards are up advertising soon to be developed.

I think a little forward planning would be beneficial, & I think I'd run the line one more station to the little township of 'Clyde'. (3 stations in all)

It doesn't seem to make much sense to me just to extend the track & infrastructure just one (Cranbourne East) station.

Dee-luded...if you or I , or indeed any of another handful of people who can see beyond the nextminute had any affect on the decision then yes it would go downto Clyde , at least ( serving the BlueRinse Hills lot..lol ) etc. The bean counters at spring St arent reknown for any sense or the ability to understand public transport..( do I realy need to spell it al out )
