 Michael GALEA (South-Eastern Metropolitan) (12:35): (1864) Yesterday I asked the Minister for Transport Infrastructure about the benefits to the Pakenham and Cranbourne lines following the completion of the Metro Tunnel and the big switch on 1 February next year, and today I would like to ask her about the benefits for the Frankston line. I know Mr Batchelor asked a similar question yesterday. I know he is proud to represent the inner section of the line, and I am proud to represent the outer section of the Frankston line. From 1 February next year, with the new Metro Tunnel opening and Cranbourne and Pakenham services running through the brand new Metro Tunnel and its five new stations, the Frankston line will again be restored to the city loop, providing more options and more connectivity for commuters along that line. Minister, how will this big switch support commuters on the Frankston line?
