Melbourne style cheaper tickets plan

Morris Iemma has announced a trial of cheaper train tickets for commuters who arrive in the city before 715am, and between 915 and 1015 am, in a milder version of the free commuting offered to Melbourne commuters who arrive in the CBD before the morning peak. At this stage it seems to be a vote-catcher only for Western and Carlingford line commuters as a trial to run until 31 October.
