 Ryan BATCHELOR (Southern Metropolitan) (09:57): I also want to lend my voice to saying how great the Metro Tunnel is. Like many of my colleagues, I was out there on Sunday catching the train and walking around. The concourses underneath Melbourne Central connecting to the State Library station were absolutely buzzing. Thousands of people came out on the weekend, on Sunday, to experience these new stations and this new train; it was phenomenal. The biggest improvement to Victoria’s public transport system in 40 years – it is absolutely fantastic.
