“This rail link will allow passengers to travel from Melbourne, Geelong or even Warrnambool by train direct to Avalon Airport and will support the Coalition’s plan for Avalon as Victoria’s second international airport,” Baillieu said.
The completed rail link would see a single track rail line connect a new Avalon Airport train station to the Melbourne to Geelon rail line between the Little River and Lara stations.
