And one thing you have not addressed was Vaughan's comment that if the stop
at Flinders St is reduced to 1 or 2 minutes, then there will be no
difference in journey times to Flagstaff and only a minute or two longer to
Melbourne Central. Will a minute or two longer journey times result in
masses of people changing at Richmond? I don't think it would, as the time
taken to change will negate this.
