Is the Monday to Friday the Nth Geelong times?
Like the train leaves Nth Geelong at 2130 on Friday, gets to Sale at 0800
on Saturday and does the return working on Saturday night?

Or does the train leave Nth Geelong at 2130 on Sunday, gets to Sale at 0800
on Monday and does the return working on Monday?

Also do you have the times for anyother train through Morwell?  Like the
paper train and any others that run.
