Re: Melbourne - improved train/tram services

: My comments:

: * It says Dandenong to Pakenham/Cranbourne trains are the only ones not to
: get 20 minute service between 11am and 7pm Sundays. Does this mean
: Belgrave/Lilydale will get 20 minute service???

But it also says that Melbourne to Eltham will be 20 minutes, but
to Hurstbridge? Maybe Belgrave/Lilydale fit into the Hurstbridge bit
ie 40 minute service.

That crap about having a Saturday timetable on Public Holidays 
(expect Good Friday and Christmas Day) that has been the case of quite
a while now.


: * This is not quite what the government promised us before the last election.
: What they said was that we'd get one timetable operating all weekend. This is
: just an improvement to trams and trains between 11 and 6:30/7. And NO change
: to bus services.

: * Note also the other press releases, concerning low floor trams from 2002,
: and separate bus investment.
