# Talk:Frankston line

I added the infrastructure section, but I am not familiar with the infrastructure after Cheltenham station. --  B.d.mills  (Talk) 22:10, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)

As this is one of the few services in Melbourne that runs the full lenght of the line (excluding an extension as the Stony Point service), there will need to be a few extra section added compared to the other Metro Trains Melbourne services.

Both rail service and rail line infoboxes - service will cover important info regarding the current server while line will cover the physical line info not covered in the service one (eg former connection, line electrification dates, etc).
Former stations - For stations where they aren't notable enough for their own page, they at supposed to be included on the rail line page. For other Melbourne services, this can be moved to the closed extended sections page (where the extended section is itself notable enough to have a separate page).

The reason for this is that this page needs to be treated as a merged Frankston Metro Service page and a Frankston Railway Line page. Unlike some of the other Melbourne ones (eg Cranbourne Metro Service with the separate South Gippsland railway line). -- ThylacineHunter (talk) 10:34, 7 February 2023 (UTC)
Service infobox:
Name: Frankston Service - to distinguish it from the Frankston (Physical Track)
First service: 1 August 1882 - useful information
Length: the correct length according to Metro Trains Melbourne documentation of the electrified Frankston line is 43.230km
Average journey time: 1 hour 7 minutes (does not need "~" as it is already described as an average time)
Frequency: still need checking, I just copied previous info (I will check it with the official timetable when I get time later this week)
Former operator: Victorian Railways (VR) (1882–1974) - was only to Mordialloc in 1881 so not a Frankston service

Ok good idea. Make sure to also add the closed stations into the track map (different to the metro train service map) when you have some time. I'll then nominate it for GA status once this has been completed.  HoHo3143 (talk) 09:20, 8 February 2023 (UTC)
The route map is waiting on Template talk:Rail-interchange#Template-protected edit request on 7 February 2023, apparently Stony Point didn't exist in the rail-interchange template. -- ThylacineHunter (talk) 09:27, 8 February 2023 (UTC)
Interesting... hopefully they approve the edit soon. In the mean time, that's the map for the metro service- what about one for the rail line (example: Cranbourne Line)? HoHo3143 (talk) 09:35, 8 February 2023 (UTC)
Both are now done
New Metro service map: Template:Frankston Metro Service
New line map: Template:Frankston Line

as this is in important part of the line's future  I don't see why it has basically 0 mention in the article. Although it isn't comfirmed yet it should have some mentioning in the article probably like a sentence or two NotOrrio (talk) 22:10, 7 February 2023 (UTC)

According to the PTV 2025 map that won't be the case. You also just wrote "although it may not be confirmed"?! HoHo3143 (talk) 06:37, 8 February 2023 (UTC)
@NotOrrio I've just done a quick google search and nothing has come up- where have you heard this? HoHo3143 (talk) 06:40, 8 February 2023 (UTC)
it won't be present in 2025 as the two lines being connected will happen in stage four of the Network Development Plan Metropolitan Rail. To clarify I saw this in the following pdf  [1] uploaded to PTV NotOrrio (talk) 06:44, 8 February 2023 (UTC)
I've gone ahead and made a one sentence mention. HoHo3143 (talk) 09:15, 8 February 2023 (UTC)
corrected it to although it isn't comfirmed yet  as that was what i was trying to originally say NotOrrio (talk) 06:46, 8 February 2023 (UTC)

Waiting on Template talk:Rail-interchange#Template-protected edit request on 7 February 2023. -- ThylacineHunter (talk) 12:38, 8 February 2023 (UTC)

This has now been fixed. -- ThylacineHunter (talk) 13:33, 11 February 2023 (UTC)

There is a move discussion in progress on Talk:Glen Waverley railway line which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you.  —RMCD bot 02:03, 10 August 2023 (UTC)
