Not to mention we are basically the only western city that still uses diesel railcars for suburban rail

By developing new infrastructure, there is the possibility of increased jobs for the northern suburbs - a significant issue for this area, even without the impending closure of Holden.
A better, more efficient train service will see developers opening up some of the land along the train line that is currently lying dormant, thus producing more employment opportunities in the development of housing, plus opening up new business/employment opportunities once people start residing in the area.
Currently, the train line's electrification is funded to Salisbury. What will happen to people going further north than Salisbury when the electrification kicks in and the remainder of the track is not electrified?

Whats wrong with it and how would you be better off with it being electrified taking into account electrification doesnt alter the timetable and would make the line reliant on one part that has no replacement in the world?

As I said my only gripe is more carriages arent put on, electrifying them would make that possibility even more unlikely.
