Trains through Melbourne’s new Metro Tunnel project will be able to run as frequently as once every three minutes. In testing this month, 12 trains made 18 trips an hour between West Footscray and Hawksburn - the first use of high-frequency services on the $12 billion railway under the CBD. The state government initially promised a “turn up and go” service - without specifying precisely how often trains would run. The significant testing milestone was made possible by modern signalling technology that allows trains to communicate wirelessly with each other and the network and to adjust their speed and run closer together. The high-capacity signalling is now used on almost half of the services on the Cranbourne and Pakenham lines. When completed, the Metro is expected to provide these passengers, and those on the Sunbury line, with trains so frequent they don’t have to look at a timetable.

I think you're being a little optimistic, have you seen how the town hall station is progressing? The new entrance building on swanston street looks a year or more away.

What about ditching the entire Metro Rail Tunnel, its been a huge budget blowout, of $15.5 Billion dollars, and train testing is interfering with important diagnostic equipment at the Peter McCallum Cancer Hospital, people's health and lives are more important than a railway line.
G'day @sandrafowler6717 - if you would like a platform to express these views, let me know if you are available for approx 5 mins, audio-only radio-style interview on site (Metro Tunnel - Arden). Theoretically you could also send that interview to your local and/or federal MP's (if you wanted to). WATERMAN
Or we could just upgrade the faraday cages for the MRI rooms, and keep the transport infrastructure we’ve already built as well? It’s not a one or the other situation mate
