New timetables
04 May, 2011
Public transport passengers across the state are reminded to check their travel plans as new timetables affecting metropolitan and regional trains, coaches and buses start this Sunday 8 May.
Metropolitan trains
Key changes:
- The Craigieburn, Sydenham, Upfield and Werribee lines benefit during the weekend with all services increasing in capacity, running as six-carriage trains instead of three-carriages.
- An additional one to three minutes has been incorporated into the scheduled journey time of most Cranbourne/Pakenham, Frankston and Sandringham line services, making their timetabled journey times more realistic, and more reflective of current journey times.
- The new timetable will help to minimise the effects of service disruptions for passengers by isolating each line to help avoid any flow-on effect of delays on other lines.

Further details are available from the V/Line website.
