Track RecordVictoria’s Public Transport Services5.3 Vandalism of ATS equipmentThe progressive strengthening of the ATS equipment (making it more vandal resistant) from December 2001 to June 2002,coupled with increased surveillance and policing, delivered significant reductions in the weekly incident rate for vandalism(Figure 14).A relatively constant level of ticket equipment vandalism has occurred over the past two years. There were 1,043 incidentsin the June quarter 2006.Figure 14.

Track RecordVictoria’s Public Transport ServicesSECTION 6.PERFORMANCE BY ROUTE/LINEThis issue of Track Record presents monthly service performance data from July 2005 to June 2006 at the route level formetropolitan trains and trams and V/Line Passenger trains. This data is compared with average on-time performance andcancellations data for the financial year 1998–99, representing pre-franchise levels of performance.Throughout this section, the measures presented exclude service performance during the Commonwealth Games (15–26March 2006).Over the past twelve months there have been disruptions to metropolitan and regional train services associated withmajor projects which included the Regional Fast Rail program, the Southern Cross Station re-development and works onthe Flinders Street Station concourse. Overall, on-time performance of metropolitan trains was lower for 2004–05 and2005–06 than in previous years. Cancellations, while recovering during 2005–06, were also higher than the levels achievedin 2001–02 and 2002–03. For V/Line, on-time performance was significantly impacted by projects but there were signs of arecovery towards the end of 2005–06.Trams have maintained previous improvements in service performance when compared to 1998–99 levels. The reliability ofthe tram network has been particularly good with the level of cancellations extremely low during 2005-06.6.1 Metropolitan trainsFigures 15 through to 18 provide monthly on-time performance data for the Northern 24 , Eastern 25 , Western 26 andSouthern 27 metropolitan train corridors.Metropolitan train punctuality for 2005–06 remained lower than in previous years.The Western corridor maintained performance at or above the metropolitan average performance for most of the year, withWilliamstown recording the highest punctuality levels across the network.Within the Northern corridor, Hurstbridge dropped below the metropolitan train average from December 2005 onwards,while Epping, Broadmeadows and Upfield services generally performed at or above average throughout 2005–06.During 2005–06, punctuality for the Eastern corridor varied from well-above the metropolitan average (Glen Waverley andAlamein) to well-below (Belgrave).Overall, the Southern corridor recorded the least-satisfactory punctuality of the network’s four regions, with only the StonyPoint and Sandringham services exceeding the network average. Cranbourne (in particular), Frankston and Pakenham werethe worst-performing lines, failing to meet the metropolitan train average at any point during the year.24 For this analysis, the Northern corridor comprises the following metropolitan train services: Broadmeadows; Epping; Hurstbridge and Upfield.25 The Eastern corridor comprises the following services; Alamein; Belgrave; Glen Waverley and Lilydale.26 The Western corridor comprises the following services: Sydenham; Werribee and Williamstown.27 The Southern corridor comprises the following services: Cranbourne; Frankston; Pakenham; Sandringham and Stony Point.27
