Stabling trains at Frankston has been a problem for years. (Include Carrum in this.) There isn't enough room for the
trains they need to have to run a better service. The Met was looking at stabling somewhere past Frankston. (possibly as
far as Baxter.) This may be more of a problem now with the proposed or actual loss of 6 road at Frankston. Someone local
could tell us if 6 is still there.
Lets hope that Bayside does something right and takes up your suggestion or something similar then they can look at my
side (Sunshine).
