From 12.15am to 2.30am on Wednesday 1 January 2025, the following frequencies will apply to the lines below: Mernda every 6 minutes Hurstbridge every 6 minutes Lilydale every 6 minutes Belgrave every 6 minutes Alamein every 20 minutes, Glen Waverley every 6 minutes Pakenham every 4 – 5 minutes Cranbourne every 20 minutes Frankston every 7 – 8 minutes Sandringham every 7 – 8 minutes Williamstown every 20 minutes Werribee every 7 – 8 minutes (via the Altona Loop) Sunbury every 7 minutes Craigieburn every 7 minutes Upfield every 15 minutes

Metro train frequencies overnight on New Years Eve shows that Melbourne the infrastructure and the rolling stock to handle the all-day all-week train service a city of 5 million actually needs.

(except Upfield line where duplication would help a lot)

Standing room only on the 20 minute frequencies at 10pm on a Thursday. And this is the busiest train line on the network. Other lines have much worse frequency.

Unacceptable for a city of 5 million. No wonder people drive.
