Re: Ringwood (new platform)

[cmgord@ecr.mu.oz.au (Christopher_Martin GORDON)]

This weekend (1/8/99) Ringwood platform 1 will be completed, and it will
start being used from Monday 2/8.  New Platforms will be:
Platform 1&2 (Island) All Melbourne Trains
Platform 3 Belgrave/Lilydale train between 6am-8:30am and 5pm-8pm M-F
all other times will be Platform 1&2.

On weekends and night time Belgrave/Lilydale shuttle trains will use 
platform 1 and through train will use platform 2.  There are a few expections
(like at 10am Sundays when the service goes from 30 minutes to 20.)

I can't wait till the mid afternoon (around 3pm-5pm) with all trains using the
island platform, and eveyone going over the bridge.  You only have to look at
the access to the new platform 1 to see it just won't work.

Is there anything in the passenger charter about stations, like taking 10 
minutes to get on/off the platform.
