Last night I was thinking of if this line still exist today, would it
attract any passengers at all? Since most passengers travelling between
Brunswick and Northcote Preston and Coburg. These routes already serve
by frequent buses rather then change at Rushall and Royal Park.
Passengers lives around Carlton and Fitzory would be better of
travelling on trams(96/86/11) and buses(252/252). All the stations on
the inner city circle are way too far from popular resturant district.

This line if still exist today maybe well patronage as passengers in Kew
will get faster and more reliable train services.
