November timetable changes from 9 November 2008
The way trains operate on the network will change in November and will affect the timetables on most lines.
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.
This is a result of the increase of passengers travelling on the network.
Epping/Hurstbridge and Werribee train line passengers may have to change the way they travel.
Bus timetables are also changing. Connecting bus services may be affected. Please check the online metropolitan bus timetables before your journey.
Follow the links below to find out how your line is affected by the November train timetable changes. Or use the journey planner to plan your journey. Journeys planned for after 8 November will include the new timetable.
