Millswood Station to re-open
There should be an announcement this week about the re-opening of the Millswood Train Station.
That was a promise by the outgoing Labor Government.
I expect that commitment to be honoured.
It was interesting that during the recent election campaign the Liberal Party refused outright to re-open the station. I suspect it was due to the fact that it was a former Liberal Government that closed the station and they didn't want to change their mind. It was a very costly decision.
I believe that this stance by the Liberals cost them 100s of votes in the Ashford electorate.
If the Liberals had supported the re-opening of the station, then the result in Ashford would have been much closer. It takes a strong person (or party) to admit that they were wrong. The Liberals wouldn't change their mind. I hope that come the next election, the Liberals don't reverse Labor's re-opening of the station.

I voted Labor simply to get the station open.
ReplyDeleteThe Liberals would not commit to re-opening the station so I voted Labor.
ReplyDeleteI've been waiting years for this to happen.
It simply came down to which party would re-open the station.
ReplyDeleteI gave my vote to Labor.
I supported Steph Key because she and the Premier promised to open the station.
ReplyDeleteAll of the locals were behind this campaign.
It was a clear case of which party would open the station. The Liberals refused to listen and do anything. The Premier committed to it. I voted Labor.
ReplyDeleteA fantastic outcome to be getting the station open.
ReplyDeleteI'll be on the first train from Millswood.
ReplyDeleteIt's been a long wait.
I will be there for the opening.
ReplyDeleteI did vote Labor in Ashford to get the station open.
I also voted for Steph Key in the hope that the station would be reopened.
