Was usually able to cross over from 4 to 5 for a (from memory) Sunbury/Watergardens service via Southern Cross so that makes sense.
Might experiment with changing at Richmond for loop services...

The stations between Sunshine and Watergardens on the Sunbury line have recently received a huge increase in service, with 10-min headways until 9pm.
The connecting bus situation is still pretty dire, though. Improving this is critical if we want to get the most of the munnel.

Really my own theory but I suspect that the reason frequency upgrades haven't been bigger on the Metro Tunnel line is to keep space for the Airport line. It would be pretty disappointing to increase frequencies to Sunbury/Watergardens all for them to be cut when that line opens

Watergardens - Sunbury at 3tph is perfectly adequate imo

Found this frequency graph from Alan Thomas to be super useful, especially with illustrating the frequency upgrades that come into place today as a result of the Big Switch! Note specifically the big upgrades on the Sunbury line. atlight.github.io/transport/me...

I’ve been hammering my local Labor MPs because people in north and north east have gotten sweet FA.
I think they’re sweating and they fucking should be. Pascoe Vale MP took my commentary as a reason to spruik LXRP. Dont fucking care mate. Thats a car project.
