Figure 9: PM peak (3pm-6pm) volume to capacity ratios<br />

3.1 PUBLIC TRANSPORT LOADS<br />

Public transport bandwidth plots have been produced for the AM and PM peak<br />

periods; thicker lines represent higher passenger volumes. The forecast rail<br />

patronage between Wallan and Roxburgh Park (where the Upfield and Craigieburn<br />

Lines merge) is very high and is unlikely to be accommodated by the future rail<br />

network capacity. We recommend that the model be run with public transport<br />

capacity constraints so that forecasts are within more reasonable bounds.<br />
