The main objective of the November timetable change is to simplify the way trains move in and out of the City Loop so that extra services can be added.
Epping and Hurstbridge lines
On weekdays, all trains on the Hurstbridge line will travel in one direction – clockwise (Flinders Street, Southern Cross, Flagstaff, Melbourne Central and Parliament Stations) – all day around the loop, instead of changing direction from morning to afternoon.
On the weekends, trains will run in the opposite direction.
This may provide additional services for Werribee customers to access the city loop from Southern Cross Station.
Werribee line
Werribee weekday peak services will travel direct to Flinders Street via Southern Cross Station allowing for two extra morning peak services on both the Werribee and Sydenham lines.
This will occur during morning peak 6.42am and 8.23am, and during the afternoon between 4.08pm and 5.48pm.
Pakenham and Cranbourne lines
More frequent evening trains are planned for the Pakenham and Cranbourne lines.
