 The Broadmeadows Railway Line
Accelerating out of Jacana on the Down, the train had a clear run through Broadmeadows Station, as it was running about 30 minutes late.
This transfer ran fairly early, and due to a recent accident at Broadmeadows, could not be 'put away' at BMS stabling sidings, so it was put into the grain siding at Kensington, this would be a very rare occasion that a spark has visited this siding.
Since this was the first time I can recall that it has run early, the train almost came to a stop, then proceeded at a walking pace through the station - sounded great!

 Melbourne's best railway line? - Railpage Australia™ Forums (Melbourne suburban)
I like the section of track between broadmeadows and jacana station where the flyover for the standard gauge is. because when your driving down pascoe vale rd and see a freight or the xpt go over its almost as if there flying.
I would have expected the Belgrave line to be more popular considering the view along the railway line is excellent, I suppose you must also consider the route "Ringwood to Ferntree Gully" which rowdy teenagers have caused chaos to.
The next station is Burnley, change here for services to Knox City

For me the best line would be one that has: a sense of history, waiting rooms and clean toilets (that are on every station and open), interesting views (industrial and environment) and construction (bridges, tunnels, cuttings), and trains that are comfortable, reliable, regular, and on time.
I've seen some pictures of the proposed new Flinders Street Station, in fact it was a book I was browsing through the other day, but I can't remember what it was.

The line was sold to the government for $45,000 in 1867, at that stage it was in a serious state of disrepair beyond Newmarket.
The Flemington Racecourse line was re-opened in time for the 1867 Melbourne Cup and after 7 years, in 1871, the line was finally re-opened to Essendon.
