Melbourne Metro Tunnel // How will it change the network?

The Melbourne Metro Tunnel is opening in 2025, and will bring some changes to the broader suburban railway network. This video looks at those changes, as well as some claims made by the official government website for the project. All photos and videos are by Martin Bennet (me). A manipulated version of the official PTV network map is used to illustrate some changes, as well as my own diagrams for the North Melbourne and Richmond areas.
