Re: Spencer St - LaTrobe St works
  Timothy Strait

Hey guys,

Mal I don't understand what else could be done here as
there is no space for extra track of any kind and to me it is just simply
just 2 curves in each direction with a straight connection across the
intersection.The only notable difference would be to create a full time
double track upgraded terminus.

Regards Timbo
