I live on the Epping line myself and I find this very annoying. Not only are
there no expresses beyond Clifton Hill, but there are no expresses for the
Epping line between Clifton Hill and Jolimont!
There used to be a a service that ran express: Parliament - Clifton Hill,
Clifton Hill - Bell, Bell - Reservoir and then all stations. This was
unsuccessful because of the large number of people using the inner city
stations and was removed from the timetable.

With a bit of luck they will!

It would be great if they did!

If you find out, tell me. I tried to get a bus service up and running for a
little town called Metung once. The local government loved it but state
knoked it back continually!
