Non-PSR trains

Non-PSR (Non-Passenger Service Requirement) “ghost trains” run predominantly on weekdays. They are used to get trains into position to run other services, and may be cancelled or altered at any time without the train operator being penalised.

This list is current as-of the July 2009 timetable. We have excluded numerous trains between Flinders Street, Southern Cross and North Melbourne.

All times are weekdays only. And remember, they may save you time, but you can’t rely on them. Times or stopping patterns could change at any time without notice.
