Thread: Trams may return to Bendigo

I think it would be a waste; they should improve the buses instead if need be - the trams don't reach far enough, or often enough, to be of any use, and the primary appeal of Bendigo is that it's NOT Melbourne; This lot have enough problem doing the right thing around the tourist tram let alone getting along with a fully commercial service
I don't think it is terribly viable, any more than a train line between Bendigo and Ballarat would be (I'd like it, for I visit family there a few times a year) but don't see a great economic benefit for either town given they are quite similar in offerings

They're talking about reopening the Moolort rail line between Maryborough and Castlemaine. They will then run a train service between Ballarat and Bendigo.
Still early days for that one.
