Yep, and the 6.30 and 7.03 up. (e.g. A62 on the 7.03 this morning)

After arriving in Melbourne in the mornings, they are pretty busy
servicing other country lines - I'm not sure exactly which, though.
Also, during the footy season, an A runs the 7.10 Saturday up even
though there are only a handful of passengers. This train is required
to service other country lines for the footy passengers. Now that
the footy is over, we're back to a sprinter on that service.
