That's surprising, I've waited ages at Glen Huntly due to cancelled
trains and everything. I have to go to Glen Huntly for a VET (like
TAFE) course that I'm doing for school.
Earlier this year when I was getting a train at Glen Huntly the FSS
train got to platform 1 on time but there must have been some ill
passenger because it waited for about half an hour and then when it
finally left I noticed there was an ambulance. But there was some
pretty confusing announcements in the meantime, such as saying to go to
platform 2 for the next FSS train.
Speaking of Glen Huntly, is there any reason why Frankston trains in the
day are stopping at platform 3 instead of 2? I didn't notice a truck on
the track so are they doing something with the overheads?
