Yes I do mean Twice but First through the Northern Loop then through the
Burnley loop so the train only goes through Flinders and Spencer street once.
So you can stand on Plat 3+4 at any of the underground stations and watch a
train go through Plat 3 then about 10 minutes later go through plat 4. It is
the oppisite in the afternoon. So in the loop plat 1+2 go one way and plat 3+4
go the other.
