Off the rails

The big ad in Sunday’s paper was ‘show your support by boarding the Dee Train’.
As part of Melbourne’s City of Casey Round, the Dees will host a train from Pakenham.
Cr Mick Morland to toss the coin.

Why on earth did the train not commence at Cranbourne rather than Cardinia’s Pakenham?
Geoff Cousins,
Cranbourne.
