its funny how it only runs on the lilydale line then. Also an interesting
observation this morning... about 8:40, there was a huge bank up of trains
just before East Richmond... When my train got to Richmond... The 4D was
sitting there packed fuller (sp?) than a tin of sardines with the doors
unable to close =( Why did they modify it so it has to run single (ie
without 3 car comeng like it used to)??

cheers
