I've been checking up on the train timetables today at VLine. I'm curious to know why the journey on the 2.40pm train from Southern Cross to South Geelong and has no stops on the way takes an hour and one minute while the 3pm train journey that has three stops on the way takes 49 minutes.

Life seems to always throw up these little conundrums but if anyone has a clue on this matter it would be appreciated and would help me make my decision as to which train to catch.

    I think Geelong is an a few hours behind Melbourne time !!

    Could it be that the 3.00pm train was originally scheduled to travel quicker to minimise lost game time for patrons when the match was originally due to start at 3.40pm? That's my take.

    perhaps it was the very fast train being used?? I seem to recall that the time saving was about 10 minutes for the trip - not bad for about $100m per line!

    I would be more worried WJ if the 3.00 pm train estimated arrival time was earlier than the 2.40's!!!
