Define hourly. I take it as every 60 minutes.

every 120 minutes roughly on weekdays and every 120 minutes on weekends.
This is 2 hourly in my book!

(From Frankston weekdays: 7.07, 9.05, 12.26, 14.25, 16.13, 18.12, 21.24
Fridays Only)
(From Stony Point weekdays 6.17, 8.00, 10.15, 13.30, 15.15, 17.05, 19.15,
20.15 Fridays Only)
(From Frankston Saturdays 9.00, 11.00, 13.00, 15.00, 17.00, 19.00)
(From Stony Point Saturdays 8.00, 10.00, 12.00, 14.00, 16.00, 18.00, 19.55)
(From Frankston Sundays 9.00, 11.00, 13.00, 15.00, 17.00, 19.00)

It would be an unusual sight to see the 4D towed behind a diesel along the
Stony Point line but it might just be the best option for it! Ownership by
Hillside doesn't mean much in some ways, they got the trains for free as did
Bayside. Surely they can 'do a deal'.
