This week has the bi-annual Australian International Airshow a brilliant and very very popular event. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How does one get there with little stress? You catch the train of course but that only goes as far as Lara Railway Station and then you have the shocking transfer from the train to the bus. That would normally not be a problem but then trying to get into and out of the site is real messy and time consuming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is course years ahead of try to drive as one poor fellow recently posted today:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traffic control in Avalon – you think last time was bad? And it’s worse this year. Most of the coppers and lollipop guys don’t know what they doing, and the roads are already clogged up like your grandpa’s toilet with cars overflow to M1 after a 15km queue, and it’s only Friday!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

A train to the terminal would be fantastic and allow easy access and could be used daily for current and expanded flights<\/a> into and out of Avalon. Could be done for a very cheap price compared to Melbourne Airport Rail Line costs and Avalon Airport is happy to assist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Linfox want the rail link<\/a> why not get it underway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new freight terminal being built at the Airport could also benefit from the rail link.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
