The Stony Point "Motor" still runs usually with an A class and two or
three MTH cars. The service is run by V/Line Passenger for the MET,
however I believe that Bayside Trains are about to take over complete
ownership and control of this service. Generally trains run about
every hour and a half until around 1830, later on Fridays. I will post
exact time tables soon.
