Well, services on the Frankston line have not been too good recently, either.
For the past three Tuesdays, the 1525 down Frankston has been cancelled (not too
helpful, given that I normally change to a bus at Frankston).
Then, on Thursday, the 0602 up Frankston was cancelled, with the excuse being a
"lack of qualified running staff". Its the first time for a while that this
excuse has been used.
