Yeah, well... interesting! Yow, six double-track junctions plus a
three-way junction...

Can't help thinking the same effect, with about the same length of new
track but fewer junctions, would be produced by laying track along Blyth
St/Atherton St instead! Two simple junctions plus a triangular junction
at Lygon St.

Another alternative could be a link via Moreland Rd/Normanby Ave and
extend the East Brunswick (96) line to Albion St and connect to Lygon St.
