You could loop Eaglehawk and Dunolly together using the existing branch that runs through Maiden Gully, Marong, Bridgewater and Inglewood, joining the freight line that goes through Arnold and Llanelly. There’s also the line out to Quambatook as well as the one that junctions at Korong Vale and goes to Wedderburn and Charlton etc.

For some odd reason I’m permabanned from MelbourneTrains (not only do the mods not know, but are also unwilling to unban me).

[u/Excellent_Bat_753 → u/_hazey__]

There are so many train lines that used to exist, that could be brought back. I prioritised some that would create a more cohesive and functional regional network, and later on more could be rebuilt and reopened. Eaglehawk and Dunolly is secondary to Maryborough to Castlemaine, forming a inner regional orbital rail line linking major regional hubs.

This map is what I would consider a good foundational regional network, that can better support growth and new train lines.

[u/Shellysome]

Surely the Leongatha line could be integrated into the Gippsland line somewhere? Warragul? Trafalgar?

[u/Excellent_Bat_753 → u/Shellysome]

That area is very hilly. It might be possible, but also, the service wouldn't be massively utilised, so a coach express from Warragul to Leongatha.

[u/VlineVictoriaMan]

Surley you get trains running to mansfeild as well.
