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:
“I see this evident, that we willingly accord to piety only the services that flatter our passions.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
“True love ennobles and dignifies the material labors of life; and homely services rendered for love’s sake have in them a poetry that is immortal.”
—Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811–1896)
“Working women today are trying to achieve in the work world what men have achieved all along—but men have always had the help of a woman at home who took care of all the other details of living! Today the working woman is also that woman at home, and without support services in the workplace and a respect for the work women do within and outside the home, the attempt to do both is taking its toll—on women, on men, and on our children.”
—Jeanne Elium (20th century)
