About an extra 200 trips each week - basically improved peak-hour
services (particularly on the Broadmeadows line - 4 extra morning peak
trains; one
additional 'super express' from Frankston @ 7.46am running express
Mordialloc-Cheltenham-Moorabbin-Caulfield-South Yarra), and also
changing the Sunday evening frequency from 40 mins to 30 mins in line
with other nights, and also an extra morning service on most lines on
Sunday (which means most people will now actually be able to get to
Spencer Street in time for the XPT to Sydney!).  Also the usual minor
changes, and the Loop will now be open on Sunday night (so pretty much
all trains on most lines will now run through the loop at all times).

Regards,

Tony
