Historical information
In 1991, the Australian Electric Traction Association (AETA) produced 7 different options to provide public transport to the Doncaster area. See reference for background to the proposals. Six of the seven options have been found and collected. Each option provides a summary, costing based in a scope of works. The Options were:
1 - Light Rail to Doncaster Shoppingtown via Eastern Freeway/Doncaster Road
2 - Light rail to Mitcham Road/Springvale Road
3 - High-performance train to Doncaster Shoppingtown via Victoria Park station Eastern Freeway/Doncaster Road
4 - Heavy rail to Doncaster Shoppingtown via Eastern Freeway to Bulleen Road and underground to Shoppingtown
5 - Heavy Rail to Blackburn Road/George St East Doncaster
7 - Extension of the Camberwell Tram (72) along Burke Road from Cotham Road to Doncaster Road.
Out of all the studies, nothing happened.
