Spotted a West Gippsland transit bus on rail at Ringwood.

Rode Croydon depot 1167 (Scania L113CRL Volgren "CR221L") on the 5:06pm route 679 from Ringwood station today. Is Lilydale short of buses?

What I meant is the lines on the freeways could be express ones no one with no stations

RailwayBus wrote:Railways down freeways means there is bugger all walk up catchment, which means it's crap for just about anyone who doesn't drive to the station.

Who said anything about stations?

They're wrong it should show a weekday timetable not Saturday

The government obviously

Feel free to post any ideas that we could campaign for, (new ideas only not old one like rail to Doncaster or Rowville).

That's what I got out of that website, which makes no sense whatsoever.

But Geelong will be electified.

Possibly the mention of City loop works is incorrect, and the works are being conducted somewhere between Caulfield & Richmond? Kind Regards Craig :) It is for loop works. See: http://ptv.vic.gov.au/news/service-alterations/metropolitan-trains/no-city-loop-trains-on-the-frankston-line-saturday-...
