Re: Ringwood (new platform)

Platform 1 at Ringwood seems to only be used during the morning peak
and when local trains are running (ie Ringwood trains either from
Lilydale/Belgrave or Flinders Street)

Only took about 2 days to work out that you couldn't have all the trains
using the island platform at busy times. (At least until the finish
everything, and that includes the building which is about 1 year off).

: Yah, well try being one of the students on that train every afternoon coming
: out from Box Hill High.  I used to be a student at Ringwood Secondary
: College, so believe me, I know what the crushes are like.  Especially when
: the trains are running late (no, they couldn't?) every day or, as happened
: often, cancelled.  That way the Aquinas, Norwood, Parkwood, Yarra Valley,
: Luther, Billanook, Rudolph Steiner, Whitefriar's, Tintern, Southwood and
: Croydon schools' students are packed onto it as well.
