 Dylan WIGHT (Tarneit) (12:39): (1619) My question is to the Minister for Public and Active Transport. Minister, what increase in capacity will be delivered by the introduction of nine-carriage V/Line trains on the Wyndham Vale line? The Allan Labor government has recently announced a $14.8 million investment to boost capacity on the line, including the rollout of longer, nine-car trains during peak periods. This represents an important step in responding to the rapid population growth and increasing demand across Melbourne’s west. This investment will directly benefit passengers across the board, particularly with the upcoming opening of the West Tarneit station later this year, which is expected to further increase passenger demand and place additional pressures on services. I am proud to be part of a government that is investing in real, practical solutions, delivering the infrastructure needed to support growing communities, particularly in the ever-growing community of Tarneit.
