In the public transport contracts, there was a condition put in, that by 
1/1/2001 there must be a number of inter-peak through trains stopping at 
premium stations. Routes included Broadmeadows-Dandenong, and Werribee-
Frankston. These trains were to run every half an hour on top of what's 
already there. Funny, it didn't make it into this timetable. Can I 
therefore assume that this is another condition "negotiated" out of the 
contract, or will there be a new timetable yet again before January 1, 
2001?
