You said it when you bought the cheap street directory.
The current Melways has all the proposed stations on the St Albans to
Sunbury section, Broadmeadows to Sunbury including Coolaroo and Roxburgh
Park (but I don't recall a Petulious???) and a few other minor odds and
sods. However as others continually point out - plenty of money for freeways
saving minutes and tearing through great chunks of landscape and small
pittances for public transport which is far more efficient, cheaper to
improve, offers more potential capacity than roads per dollar spent and wins
votes too but apparently not as obviously.
