Also to be noted is the removal of the tracks which connected the Dandenong line across to the Frankston line express tracks at Caulfield which run to Flinders Street. The nett result is that VLine trains are condemned to following all stations trains all the way to and from Dandenong at least. With suburban trains running that far every 10 minutes, there is no way to go any faster. Even the 3rd track at Oakleigh his been removed and this was a short working location.
