Although it's not entirely relevant to this page (as it's not a current proposal), I felt it interesting to note this article [1] from The Age mentions a 1963 proposal for a station betweeen Flinders Street Station and Spencer Street Station, at the intersection of Flinders and King streets.

[edit] PTUA proposals

There don't seem to be any (or many) of the generally well-researched/thought out PTUA proposals here. If there are no objections I believe these should be added, as the PTUA suggestions seem to be, at the least, considered by the public and government. The list of suggestions can be found at [2] Natronomonas 06:06, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

I could dispute that the PTUA researched these things well, and a number of their proposals are already in the list, but many of their proposals have been officially proposed in the past or proposed by others anyway, and I see no reason to not include any that aren't already there.

[edit] Unsourced changes

Three changes were made on 02 April 2007 - these are unsourced (barring their poor spelling and style). E.g. stations on the proposed Doncaster East line. My main reference for that rail line (Melway #14) does not show stations at Chandler Hwy and Burke Road. The mini bus proposal for the City of Manningham can be sourced (Manningham Leader, 28 March 2007), but then, it is not relevant as it is a bus proposal, not rail. Thoughts? - Bricks J.

[edit] Update

The paragraph beginning The Cranbourne East proposal has re-emerged in recent years... only cites one source from 2001. — The Storm Surfer 22:18, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
