Another regular cancellation is the 1657 (ex Museum/Melb Central) to
Mordialloc, stopping all stations. As a result, the 1704 Frankston, which
is usually express Cualfield-Cheltenham, ends up stopping at the stations
in-between those two instead. Thus, it takes longer to get home, and the
train is more crowded. This seems to happen almost half the time....
