South-Eastern Metropolitan Region

David LIMBRICK (South-Eastern Metropolitan) (13:08): (251) My constituency question is for the Minister for Public Transport. Buses currently replace trains on the Frankston line whilst work is being completed on the level crossing in Glen Huntly. For commuters travelling from south-east Melbourne into the city and back again, this journey is complicated and must be nearly impossible for people who have mobility issues or other disabilities or those who might not speak English. In particular buses are parked a long distance from train stations at Brighton Beach and Caulfield. My question for the minister is to investigate whether it is possible to make buses more accessible for commuters when buses replace trains on the Frankston line?
