An express service from Frankston has been warranted for years, some years
back I spoke with others on this route , the idea was for a breakfast service
from frankston to the city...though we allowed for a pickup and reverse set
down at Carrum. The idea was for a diesel hauled service to come in from Stony
Point and keep going!!..Alas  not to be..but interesting that this now comes
along. We even catered to a showers etc..and business like tables for the
office types to play solitaire on their laptops!!....some think this a tad
over board...but why limit ones thinking to current offerings!!
