Fast-track Avalon rail link

A NEW rail link with fast trains from Avalon Airport to Melbourne and connected to the new Tullamarine link is being pursued.

They can’t get a normal train to be on time. Best way to miss your flight. Alexandra Zauli

35 minutes — that’s a 1980s standard speed. 300km/h — 20 minutes should be the minimum acceptable time. Doug Gilham

Twenty years of promises from Geelong ALP MPs. Yet V/Line is the slowest, dirtiest and least reliable transport in Victoria. 180km/h through level crossings in Werribee? What a joke Warwick Drayton

Sensationalised. No investments and infrastructure are coming to Greater Geelong. Chad Hunter

Hmm they can’t get a train from Lara to Avalon what makes them think they can get one to Melbourne, and what about Geelong? Alison King

Fifty-year wait. Preg Garker

Whatever. Benjamin Garvey

Another station between Lara and Little River? Why not just build a new one and get rid of Little River? Plus this is as good as the talk for making a high-speed link between Geelong and Melbourne which arguably is more important than getting people to an airport. Peter

Whose land are you going to steal, Oh yes goody more noise and pollution for our farms and splitting it in two. Yay, so happy. Christine J

They can’t even get the Geelong train right. David Hayley

They promise knowing they will be voted out next election. Brian Gaylard

What about linking to Geelong? Kelly N Clay

How about Avalon to Geelong ? Andrea Ingle

Will this be done in our lifetime? Leon Reeves

Just do it. Debbie Parsons
