Subsequently a more detailed DL brochure ‘track work - Bankstown Line -
Maintenance and upgrade program - 3 - 25 January 2006 - Railway work in your
area” has been reported but does not contain a timetable for the bus
operation.
And later still the actual replacement bus timetable for the Bankstown Line..
It is an Orange DL titled 'Bankstown Line Upgrade (Bankstown and Inner West

It covers only the Weekdays in detail. It mentions which sections of the network
will be replaced by buses on weekends but more information for the weekend

Connex (Trains).
HOLIDAY TIMETABLE
From Wednesday 28 December 2005 until Friday 20 January 2006, the Connex weekday
timetable will be altered.
Some peak-hour services, less than 3 per cent of scheduled services, will be
withdrawn while the departure times and stopping pattern of other trains will
also change.
Holiday timetables have been a feature of public transport in the past few
years. They reflect the marked drop in patronage at this time of year (about 30
per cent) and allow more of our drivers to spend the holidays with their
families.
More info of Holiday timetables alterations at:
http://www.connexmelbourne.com.au/travel_info/index.asp?thm=33&evn=282
Two morning peak-hour train services will resume from Tuesday, 17 January 2005.

Frankston will revert to their normal stopping patterns. This means the 7.29am
