Melboune is very unlikely to get DD trains as it was against Government
policy. That is why not.
Increased frequency poses problems too. Where are they getting the extra
trains and drivers from?
90 sec headways are dreamland stuff in Melbourne. The closest headways were
between Blackburn and Ringwood which could handle 17 trains per hour each
way after the signalling was upgraded in the early (?) '80s.
