Isn't Flinders St still easily the busiest station?

Its probably a majority going to the three underground stations, but if you 
cut out the lengthy stop at Flinders St, the people going to Flagstaff are 
no 
worse off, and the people going to Spencer are postively better off.

But the communities on the affected lines should be involved in these sorts 
of 
decisions. Theyre their lines, after all.
