Southern Metropolitan Region
Ryan BATCHELOR (Southern Metropolitan) (12:46): (1556) My question is to the Minister for Public and Active Transport. How is the Victorian government improving train services for commuters on the Sandringham line? Yesterday it was great to see the Premier and the Minister for Public and Active Transport announce some service improvements across the metropolitan train network, and commuters on the Sandringham line are going to see an increase of services from 15 minutes now to 10-minute frequency between peak services, greatly benefiting those commuters. Travellers all the way from Sandringham or Hampton right through to Prahran and South Yarra will benefit from these new services being brought into the network alongside the opening of the Metro Tunnel, which later this year is going to begin to transform the way Melbourne’s public transport system and Melbourne’s train network operate, benefiting everyone across our metropolitan train network.
