 Jackson TAYLOR (Bayswater) (10:24): I am really excited that after years of advocacy the Belgrave line and other lines, including the Lilydale line, in the outer east, will be receiving an uplift in services. This is the biggest uplift in services we have seen for some time on the outer east lines, moving from 30- to 20-minute weekday evening services. This is going to mean a huge difference for locals, particularly given the rise of working from home and flexible working arrangements. This is going to make it easier for people to catch a train, get more people on the trains and off our roads, so a huge thankyou and acknowledgement to the Allan Labor government for making this significant commitment for my community.
