The main point is to disentangle those lines from the city loop. That way more services can be run and since the lines will be independent a problem on one line won’t bring down the entire network any more.

This was a really interesting bit of history. Thanks Philip.
Even more interesting is how all of Geelong is excluded from Melbourne’s count when Gosford’s included in Sydney’s count, despite neither place being continuously connected to the larger city, Geelong being closer to Melbourne than Gosford is to Sydney, and Geelong having just as large a proportion of daily commuters as Gosford.
The reality is that Melbourne’s population outpaced Sydney a long time ago and the boundaries are only just starting to catch up.
I did a double-take at “Australia’s biggest city” referring to Melbourne
It overtook Sydney about a year ago when the ABS revised the statistical areas: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-australia-65261720
Based on these new boundaries Melbourne’s had a higher population than Sydney since 2018.
Get back in line inmate, you’re not allowed to ask questions about that.
I expect to hear in a few years that Carlson has been on the payroll of the Russians for years.
That Arden station facade is absolutely huge. But why? Why spend so much money on such a large facility when the Paris metro gets by fine with only using this much space. It just feels like it’s more inconvenient for the users since they have to walk an extra couple of hundred metres for no good reason. And it looks unnecessarily expensive both in building costs and real estate when a smaller entrance would do just fine.
