Travel demand effects
Ringwood to Camberwell and Dandenong to Caulfield. It would appear to attract much higher
usage levels than the Glen Waverley, Cranbourne or Pakenham lines.
7.3 Station usage
Estimated daily station usage in 2046 is summarised in Figure 28 for Rowville rail line
stations and others in the vicinity (on the Dandenong, Glen Waverley and Belgrave lines).

In summary:
Rowville Line Dandenong Line Glen Waverley Line Belgrave Line
Without Rowville line With Rowville line
Monash University would be the busiest station on the Rowville rail line, with around
23,000 train users a day, comparable with Caulfield or Oakleigh stations;
Mulgrave Park and Rowville would attract around 17,000 train users, similar to Glen
Waverley or Springvale stations; and
Waverley Park would be the least busy station with about 10,000 users a day, similar to
Noble Park or Mount Waverley stations.
Some stations on adjacent rail lines would see reduced usage due to the Rowville rail line. In
particular:
usage of Huntingdale and Clayton stations would drop as people travelling to and from
Monash University would no longer need to use buses from these stations; and
