Hi

Why don't we just progressively remove all the level crossings a la
Boronia, starting with the ones on the Ringwood line (you could take
out 4 in one go there by lowering the line between laburnam and
heatherdale for a fairly small sum of money)?

Replacing level crossings with grade separations not only eliminates
the safety issue (barring a granville, or someone jumping off the
bridge onto the tracks) but also improves traffic flow on the road, and
makes it easier to transfer from bus to train.
