Relocation within Melbourne?

Where is this from?

I get that it's just a visual guide, but Richmond Station is going over the road, but under the ground? That grade is a bit more than 2%. And there's no way those left two soccer pitches are going to survive an MCG game day crowd, let alone year after year of them.

This can't be from anything official.

Looks like Richmond station remains above the ground to me, and the tracks are covered but not necessarily sunk.

You didn't answer where it came from.

And unless those soccer pitches are on a sharp incline, thats not physically possible. The rail is above the road, so anything built above that would be 4-5 stories above ground.

It's a Seinfeld hallway problem.

I'm not sure what you don't get about building a flat roof over train tracks.

The soccer fields in that map would be at the same height as the current overpasses, which are nowhere near as high as 4-5 stories above ground.

4-5 stories at punt road, tapering down. Like I said, its all on an angle. The only way this works is if the station gets buried.

You oddly refuse to say where this came from.

4-5 stories at punt road,

No that's just simply wrong. The tracks are one storey off the ground at the highest point (pretty obvious when you think about it--elevated for motor vehicles to pass under, not ships). The covering would just be an additional storey above that.

Incorrect.

Where did the map come from? Did you make it yourself?

Behold, two storey buildings, stretching into the air as high as the platform shelters at Richmond station:


If we can't agree about that, further interaction is a waste of time.

The train needs clearance and electrical wires above it, so the cieling would likley need to be a bit higher than the top of the shelters there, which look to be about 3 stories high. Then the thickness of the structure you need to build on that to support the weight of a field, and another foot or two for a drainage system. It's at least 3.5 stories.

I'm not sure why you're arguing because even if you were right, the problems I'm pointing out are still present.

All you need to do is bury the station, and get rid of the two left most soccer fields, and you have something viable instead of ridiculous. It should be pretty trivial to have the tracks to the east move down instead of up as they approach the station, so it wouldn't even be a big reconfiguration.
