VicTrip is a private company contracted (by the State Government?) to
provide timetable information to general public on behalf of various
operators.  In regard to timetables, in the past you wouldn't be able to
see schedules between two lines (eg. Lilydale to Broadmeadows) anyway. 
However if this is not what you meant, then I don't have trouble reading
those timetables either.  I have selected two locations and it provides
stopping times for station(s) in between.  Don't forget you can select
to see the timetable for ** ONE DAY ** instead of just a couple of
hours.
