	Reference.com/Encyclopedia/Pakenham railway line, Melbourne
		The Pakenham railway line in Melbourne, Australia is the suburban electrified portion of the railway to Bairnsdale in eastern Gippsland.
		The Pakenham line began as part of the main line to Gippsland, but at the time the route through the suburbs has not been determined, so the first portion to open was the section between Oakleigh and Bunyip (Gippsland) in October 1877.
		In 1954 the line beyond Dandenong was electrified mainly because of the expected briquette traffic from the brown coal mines in the Latrobe Valley, and over the next two years most of the line between Dandenong and Pakenham was duplicated and provided with power signalling, although Narre Warren to Berwick was not done until 1962.

		Melbourne: Where the only PT to 2/3rds of the population runs roughly hourly 7am-6pm M-F plus Saturday Mornings, and expanding the hourly service to run 7 days a week in a few years time is supposed to be a major improvement worthy of praise.
		MAJOR level crossings in Melbourne's south-east are likely to be removed as part of a $1 billion upgrade of the crowded Dandenong rail line.
		In Clayton if the whole line was sunk from the up side of Clayton road to the down side of Centre road they'd surely be able to recoup massive amounts of cash by selling air-rights and building on top (very wide corridor would make it less painful to build as well).

		Even with a railway line, this extension is still needed as it would improve access to Doncaster from Kew East and Balwyn North, while also providing a linkage with the railway line when it is built.
