 John BERGER (Southern Metropolitan) (22:42): (2540) My adjournment matter is for the Minister for Public and Active Transport in the other place. The 2026–27 Victorian budget provides for $77.5 million to increase train frequency on train lines across the state. These frequency increases will be rolled out on both regional and metropolitan lines. We in the Southern Metropolitan Region will be significant beneficiaries of this, with additional services being delivered on the Belgrave, Lilydale, Alamein and Glen Waverley lines. Rail services on weekday evenings will increase from every 30 minutes to 20 minutes to the end of each of these lines. This means that trains will run every 10 minutes onto the Ringwood lines. The action I seek is for the minister to provide information on how these services will benefit passengers on these lines.
