Wow! wow! wow! easy easy! Sydnham electrifrication is NOT going to
build by government, instead the construction will be resposible by
Bayside trains, they will be building this line sometime in the future
possibily finish by 2003 which means the work will be start later this
eyar or early next year as this is the requirement for Bayside train
contract, similar case with Yarra trams' Box Hill extension. The
government announced they are not going to break the contract nor
change rules of the requirement for these private companies therefore
you will see the extension work starts soon. The extension work will
not be fund by the government therefore it will not be in the state
budge.
