Hey guys,
Mal,from what I understand the upgraded stop and
associated track works need to be done as this route is an approved
diversion route for the 58,which as you know will be run by E Class from
October so the infrastructure has to support that.A good example of this is
the platform stop/power upgrade in South Yarra currently being built.

Regards Tim.
