At Broadmeadows, "good morning passengers, the next train to depart from 
platform two is the 10:08 Seymour, running express to Craigieburn, stopping 
all stations from Craigieburn to Wallan, running express Wallan to Wondong, 
stopping all stations Wondong to Seymour". Since when in the last 10 years 
was there a station between Broadmeadows and Craigieburn? (:
