Some investment they did a while back has enabled 10 minute frequencies on their train lines now. It’s paid off for them and it’s something to strive towards.
Melbourne’s train lines need untangling from one another and single track sections need removing to enable 10 minute frequencies everywhere. Projects like the tunnel are part of the untangling effort, but it will take time. Honestly it should’ve been done 20 years ago.
Having said that, a decent timetable rewrite is due when the tunnel opens. I’m expecting better services on weekends now since those days are when the CBD actually gets busy nowadays.
@Railison regularity of services is a BIG thing. System maintenance is also an issue. It’s crazy how many stations are poorly maintained when we are spending some many $B. In my limited experience I’m yet to see run down stations in the Sydney network? Could be wrong?
