More trains on track

CASEY commuters are set to benefit from improvements to the Dandenong, Cranbourne and Pakenham train lines.
Connex, operator of Melbourne’s suburban railway network, has announced that it will begin operating its late night train services from Friday, 20 October.
Late night service departure times from Flinders Street Station for the Pakenham and Cranbourne line will be 12.32am and 1.02am.
In response to increased customer numbers along the Dandenong line, Connex also added 25 services to the timetable each week from last Monday 16 October.
The introduction of services along the Dandenong line has led to arrival and departure time adjustments for other services on the Pakenham and Cranbourne line.
As a result of these changes, new timetables are available online at connexmelbourne.com.au or metlinkmelbourne.com.au, or by calling Metlink on 131 638.
