Abstract: In January 1983 the Victorian Government made an announcement that could have far reaching consequences on public transport in Melbourne. There is great significance in the planned conversion of the heavy routes serving Port Melbourne and St Kilda to lines, the reasons for this policy being explained. An examination is also made of the proposed introduction of articulated light rail vehicles on these routes, as this type of rolling stock has not been seen previously in Melbourne. Mention is also made of a new conventionally electrified railway between the suburbs of Altona and Laverton.
