Yes the 18:59 and 19:17 are very well used (since all the other train
that time of night stop all stations). So If I am going to Ringwood I
can leave town up to 10 minutes later and get to Ringwood only 2-3
minutes later.


9:17 in the morning doesn't have that many people on it.

16:43 and 16:47 are quite well used (certian people will catch it each
day).
Also with a 16:45 Ringwood express Richmond - Box Hill there is a lot of
trains around then and they are all used very well.
