Tony could probably argue this one better than me, but there are a lot
of people in that Ringwood corridor who work in the Camberwell area.
Camberwell is also the transfer point for Alamein trains and should be
where people wanting stations between Richmond and Camberwell change to
a stopping train. Youre not going to make them sit on a stopper all the
way from Box HIll, are you?

I suppose a case could be made for one or two super-expresses in the
peak that don't stop at Camberwell. Maybe they shouldn't stop at Box
Hill either if they can be filled up by Ringwood.
