A week, I think, but I suspect they are counting each service they've
moved as an extra one (?)

I think Paul said it worked out to an average three extra trains per
line per day.

Mostly its a couple of extra trains here and there.

The most significant improvement is from 40 to 30 minutes on sunday
nights and the loop staying open.

As I told ABC Radio earlier today, its a welcome improvement but theres
a long way to go. Its been over-hyped by batchelor and certainly isn't
the biggest improvement in 15 years.
