The outer depots such as Ringwood are pretty much empty for most of the
day. A few more down trains after the morning peak and a few more ups mid
afternoon should fix that. Ringwood can hold twelve six car sets, with one
more behind the up platform. There are also sidings at Lilydale and Upper
FT Gully.
