One of which is being addressed with line duplication works on the Hurstbridge line.

That still leaves single track sections after Greensbrough.
But Realistically the duplication only needs to go as far as Eltham

it’s astonishing to me that you can decry growing debt because of a particular project And then propose redirecting this spending into recurrent expenditure.

That's not accurate

As I understand it, only ~$10 bil SRL cost had been budgeted for, out of a stage 1 estimated cost of $35 billion (and probably much more).

It was only that amount Liberal would've redirected.

so funds borrowed over a lengthy term redirected to current expenditure?

Interesting to note that the Liberals stuck with the same pollster who in 2018 made a huge mistake in not counting the exact number of seats the Coalition needed to win the election, and did so again 4 years later by telling the Coalition as early as the Wednesday before the election that they would be able to regain government. And what happened? Daniel Andrews won both elections by landslide margins.

I don't think theres too many people out there who know how to build a Victorian Railways wooden trestle bridge out there these days.
