New Melbourne train timetable

The state government has announced a new metropolitan train timetable for Melbourne with 3-stages of improvement. Much more improvement and infrastructure is needed but it's good to see things heading in the right direction. No details on the 3rd stage which is for "off-peak" improvements but I hope it would be to standardise daytime offpeak frequencies to 15 minutes across the network, not just on the Caulfield and Burnley group of lines. With the movement of Werribee trains to run Flinders Street direct, the North Melbourne loop should now have the capacity to operate more services for the remaining lines (Broadmeadows, Sydenham and Upfield). Biggest improvement will be to the Stony Point line from 27 April with the introduction of Sprinter trains and much more frequent services - type in 28 April into the link above and see the new timetables.
