Let's assume the idea do go ahead, I hope Hillside Train will use 6-car
set rather than the 3-car set. Otherwise, we will have a sardine can
with Alamein, Belgrave and Lilydale passengers! I somehow suspect, it
would be easier for them to use 3-car set and have another 3-car set
wait, both at Camberwell and Ringwood. Finally, 6-car sets are required
during daytime on weekends, especially when major events are held. A
few people have expressed (through this newsgroup) unacceptable train
loading at times over the weekend.
