Services
A complete journey between the Flinders Street and Frankston terminal stations takes approximately 58 minutes. In peak times express trains are run from Frankston, using the triplicated track for overtaking movements of other trains. Additional stopping all stations trains operate from the intermediate terminus. In off peak trains run stopping all stations, except for the stations shared with the Pakenham and Cranbourne lines.
Since the introduction of new Metro Trains Melbourne timetables on 6 June 2010, services stop at all stations between Malvern and South Yarra, with Pakenham and Cranbourne line services now running express in the inter-peak period. During peak times, most trains run express between Malvern and South Yarra and often run express between Cheltenham, Moorabbin, Caulfield and/or Malvern and South Yarra. Football extra services sometimes do not stop at South Yarra.

Famous quotes containing the word services:
“We now in the United States have more security guards for the rich than we have police services for the poor districts. If you’re looking for personal security, far better to move to the suburbs than to pay taxes in New York.”
—John Kenneth Galbraith (b. 1908)
“A good marriage ... is a sweet association in life: full of constancy, trust, and an infinite number of useful and solid services and mutual obligations.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
“The community and family networks which helped sustain earlier generations have become scarcer for growing numbers of young parents. Those who lack links to these traditional sources of support are hard-pressed to find other resources, given the emphasis in our society on providing treatment services, rather than preventive services and support for health maintenance and well-being.”
—Bernice Weissbourd (20th century)
