When I was talking about the 402 I thought it was a new route, because it's listed along with the 241 with equal prominence, so I was considering *all* it's services to be new. I also stuffed my written correction on screen, it is roughly 80 each way each day (so yes, it is better than some train lines). Don't know how I managed that. ANYWAY: So the 402 is an existing route, and it's getting 14 new services each weekday, and 8 on each day of the weekend, which totals 86 new services across the week. So their statement on it isn't wrong, but I was thrown out by the context on the website, and the fact the number of new weekly services was coincidentally almost the same number as the daily services. #melbourne #trains #transport
