Steve Price interviews RRL CEO Corey Hannett

Steve Price from MTR recently put some hard questions to Corey Hannett, the CEO of the Regional Rail Link Authority, regarding the quality of the RRL's communication with affected residents, the extent of community consultation, and the fate of the EPA's noise assessment report.

Interestingly, Mr Hannett admitted that the number of trains expected to run through Footscray after the new tracks are completed will be at least 53 per hour. (The project allows for more). Previously, no-one from RRL has been prepared to comment on the extra capacity of the completed tracks. In consultation sessions, we've been told that sort of information wasn't part of the RRL brief.
