Soccer trains boost

AN EXTRA late train service will run on all but two lines this weekend for fans wanting to get home after watching the World Cup at Birrarung Marr on Saturday night.

One train will leave Flinders Street Station at 2.30am on Sunday on all lines except Alamein and Williamstown. The extra services have been put on to help thousands of fans get home from the city after the Australia-Ghana match.

Metro was criticised last week by opposition transport spokesman Terry Mulder for not putting on extra services to help fans get into the city to watch Australia's opening World Cup match against Germany. People were instead encouraged to get a Nightrider bus.
