The Minister for Public Transport, Terry Mulder, is hoping a new train station in Melbourne's west will help ease road congestion.

A new timetable incorporating the station, at Williams Landing, near Point Cook, will start next month.

Mr Mulder says the station includes 500 car parks, taxi connections and hundreds of new bus services.

He says the area desperately needs more public transport and the new $110 million station should make a significant difference.

"Certainly this area is rapidly growing, you've only got to look around to see all the new houses springing up in this location to understand that they do need good reliable public transport and this particular project will give that to them," he said.

The so-called premium station will be staffed from first train to the last train at night and will have protective service officers.

"There are ramps, there are lifts, there are stairs, bus interchange, taxi stop, the works," Mr Mulder said.

Bus services will expand to Point Cook South and Saltwater Close with five new routes replacing the 413 and 416, and all bus routes will run until at least 9pm every night.

Two of the new routes, the 494 and 495, from the new station through Point Cook, will run until midnight on Friday and Saturday night.

The number of bus services in the area will more than triple from 697 to 2120.

The 413 and 416 which both go from Hoppers Crossing to Laverton have been axed.

Williams Landing is the newest station in Melbourne and has bus bays, two lifts, a ramp and is accessed from both sides of the Princes Freeway via a pedestrian bridge.

It will be a premium station and will be staffed while train services are running.

Transport Minister Terry Mulder said Protective Services Officers would also patrol the station.

“It’s a pretty good era for public transport,” he said.

PTV Chief Executive Ian Dobbs said there was room to increase frequency of train services on the Werribee line after the Regional Rail Link was completed, but at the moment there were bottlenecks between the city and Newport.  

“Really, running V/Line trains through the middle of the metro service makes it very, very difficult,” he said.

New public transport network for Point Cook area from Sunday, 28 April 2013
Date Published: Monday 25 March 2013

A new train and bus network will be introduced in the Point Cook area from Sunday 28 April, with the opening of the Williams Landing Station and five new bus routes introduced.  

Williams Landing Station, located on the Werribee line, will cater for thousands of residents in the fast-growing suburbs of Point Cook, Williams Landing and Truganina.

Five new bus routes will provide more frequent and direct services to connect with trains at the new station, as well as improved late night services to get residents home.

All Werribee line trains will stop at Williams Landing, which means Point Cook residents will no longer have to travel to Hoppers Crossing, Aircraft or Laverton to access more than 800 train services a week.

Trains will stop at Williams Landing trains every 10-12 minutes during peak times, and every 20 minutes during the off-peak.

The new Williams Landing Station will operate as a Premium Station and will be staffed from first to last train.

The new station will feature:

    * an island platform accessible by stairs, lifts and ramps
    * a new bus terminal and a taxi rank
    * a car park with 500 spaces, and drop-off zones
    * a pedestrian footbridge across the Princes Freeway
    * a secure Parkiteer bicycle cage for cyclists
    * an air-conditioned waiting area and toilets.

In addition to the new train station, the new bus network will more than triple the number of bus trips each week for passengers, an increase from 696 to 2120, and will extend public transport for the first time to the growing areas of Point Cook South and Saltwater Coast residents, via new routes 494, 495 and 497.

Residents will benefit from more late night buses, with services running till approximately 9pm, seven days a week, and services operating until midnight on two routes on Friday and Saturday nights.

Some existing bus routes in the local area will also change with Route 446 now travelling to Williams Landing Station and Route 414 ending at Laverton Station.

Passengers should be aware that existing bus routes 413 and 416 have been replaced by routes 493, 494, 495, 496 and 497.

Timetable information will be available in the coming days. Check back here again for more information.

Train timetable to miss some buses



Five new bus services into the Williams Landing railway station may do little to relieve the traffic choking Melbourne's western suburbs because buses will not meet every train, according to public transport advocates.

Public Transport Minister Terry Mulder announced the new Williams Landing station, on the Werribee line, would open on April 28, and that five new bus routes would service the station. Three of the routes will be new services to Point Cook South and Saltwater Coast, and the other two will be established routes with some changes.

The new routes will all operate on 22-minute timetables in the peak - an improvement on the present services, which operate every 40 minutes.

But Public Transport Users Association president Tony Morton said buses needed to arrive every 15 minutes or less, because a 22-minute timetable was too hard for commuters to remember.

''It is a case of doing the mediocre and expecting to be congratulated for it,'' he said. ''It is a lot better than every 40 minutes, but in order for it to be an option for a person who has a car in the driveway, it has to be running every 15 minutes or better … every 10 minutes really.''

Dr Morton said the 500-space car park would fill early each morning if buses were infrequent, forcing commuters onto the already congested Princes Highway.

Mr Mulder said the new station would have a rail service every 11 minutes in the peak and 20 minutes in the off-peak. He said all bus routes would be timed to meet every second train.

''Many passengers along streets where two bus routes converge, or within walking distance of two routes, will benefit from an even more frequent bus service,'' he said.

He said he expected the new bus services would triple the weekly number of bus passengers, from 697 to 2120. He said ''late-night'' buses would run until 9pm most nights and until midnight on two routes on Friday and Saturday nights.

However, Dr Morton said most residents would not consider 9pm a late-night bus.

Western Metropolitan Greens MP Colleen Hartland echoed concerns about the buses' frequency and called for priority bus lanes so the new buses would not be caught in traffic. ''Without them, bus times could easily blow out to 30 minutes,'' she said.

She said the new station would add 1000 passengers each day to the Werribee line, which was already the most overcrowded of any line on the rail network, and called for more train services to cope with the demand.

Premier Denis Napthine announced the $176 million order today of eight new X'Trapolis trains, due 2015, which can run on the eastern suburbs lines to Glen Waverley, Belgrave, Lilydale, Hurstbridge and Alamein, and to South Morang.

Signal works on the Sunbury, Werribee, Williamstown, Upfield and Craigieburn lines will allow the new trains run on those lines.

Seven new X'Trapolis trains were ordered last year, and four are in service.

There has been $2 million put towards planning work for longer, high capacity trains which would carry up to 1100 passengers.

The trains will be fitted out in Ballarat.

shopping center 何时开？

还有一段日子:

http://www.cardno.com/en-au/projects/Pages/Projects-Williams_Landing.aspx

Williams Landing Shopping Centre
Location: Victoria; Australia; Australasia

Williams Landing Shopping and Town Centre is a large scale, $100M retail development located on part of the old Williams Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) base in Melbourne’s west, and is the centrepiece of a much larger Williams Landing residential and commercial precinct.

Engineering for the project is currently being completed by Cardno.All structural documentation is being produced using Revit BIM management software.

The shopping centre features two major tenants, six mini-major tenants and almost 100 specialty stores, including food and beverage vendors and commercial offices, on a predominantly single level 34,000 square metre floor area. The ground level suspended post-tensioned floor plate overlies a basement car park extending across approximately half the building envelope. Architectural features include complex glazed steelwork feature entrances and mall areas.

Particular care has been taken in design to detail ground level slabs and footings as a result of the highly reactive clay founding material on site, overlying extremely competent basalt rock.

火车站终于开了! 但开始就遇上故障!

http://www.theage.com.au/it-pro/government-it/myki-crashes-at-rail-station-opening-20130428-2imsq.html

As eager commuters headed to Melbourne's newest train station on Sunday, they arrived to find the myki system out of order.

It meant that for more than an hour, passengers at the $110 million Williams Landing station couldn't buy or top up myki cards at the counter or from the lone myki machine.

Minutes before the system crashed, Victorian Transport Minister Terry Mulder was talking up the Werribee line station, which will service Point Cook and future residents of Williams Landing.

''Wyndham is one of the fastest-growing areas in the country, and this new station and bus network mean more transport options for over 32,000 Point Cook residents,'' Mr Mulder said.

Two thousand commuters are expected to use the premium station each day, which includes a bus terminal, taxi rank, bike cage and access from both sides of the Princes Freeway via an overhead footbridge.

Two existing bus routes have been replaced with five new local routes, increasing bus services from 697 to 2120 per week.

Protective service officers have also been assigned to Williams Landing and will patrol the station from 6pm until the last train.

But on Sunday, passengers and Metro staff said there were questions that remained unanswered.

The station has only 500 car spaces, which are likely to fill quickly in the morning peak.

And because Williams Landing falls within Zone 2, several commuters said it was likely locals would drive to nearby Laverton station, where they can pay the cheaper Zone 1 fare to the city.

Metro employees have already raised concerns there are no security cameras covering the station's footbridge.

However, a spokeswoman for Mr Mulder said cameras would be installed ''in the coming days''.

Sections of the footbridge are protected by only a 1.5 metre fence.

With a drop of at least 10 metres, one Metro staff member told Fairfax Media that ''ticket inspectors wouldn't want to be apprehending fare evaders on the bridge''.

But Mr Mulder's spokeswoman said the fence complied with building codes and a higher fence would prevent ''passive surveillance''.

She also dismissed speculation that there were plans to close the nearby Aircraft Station, located about one kilometre away.
