I don't know if this is allow, but I took Geelong service a few times
and saw people get on at Werribee heading to Melbourne, the conductor
either juct check ticket or didn't care.

I saw people got on at SSS and jump off at Sunshine or St Albans before
on Ballarat/Bendigo service, when you have a Metcard it doesn't really
tells you where you are heading to.

But once I was on an ex-Traralgon train, the conductor took about 5
minutes to get rid of around a dozen passengers jumped on at Caulfield
wanted to get to Melbourne.
