: Early running!!!!!!

: That would be a worse position for the company than running late!!!

: The fine for running early is twice that for running late, the cost of late
: running on the GW line from 1530 to 1830 on the down is $55 per minute, a
: train arriving at GW 2 minutes early would cost the company $220.

: After 1830 to the last train the fine drops to $9.00 per minute, whilst on
: the Alamein line it drops from $25 to $4.00 after 1830.

: Every line has set charges for its trains, they vary from (for example)

: Morning peak: Up trains Per Minute:

: Epping $60.
: Hurstbridge $78.
: Lilydale $65.
: Belgrave $59.
: Alamein $38.
: Glen Waverley $63.

: A simular arrangement would apply to Bayside services.

: The scale of fines dependant on the time of day, direction and line
: concerned.

: Likewise if an operator meets the timetable requirements, it can receive a
: bonus for on time performance, this has already happened in the case of
: Hillside.

A bonus?  Bastards.

What is the penlity for not stopping at a station where it should have 
stopped?
