@Baku "Notably, this new tunnel will also include direct transport to Marvel Stadium, with a brand-new underground station at the site. So getting home post-concert or footy should be easier without having to fight for your life on a packed tram."

Southern Cross would like to point out it's proximity to the stadium. It already takes most of the spectators, but another set of platforms will be welcome.

@Baku metro 2 isn't as important as metro 1, but the extra capacity for Mernda will be amazing.

And construction will start after the SRL is completed, sometime in the 2050s?

@AllNewTypeFace @Baku I'd be less surprised if it was completed before SRL breaks ground
