Typical of Channel 9 to frame this as a bad thing. Yes, they should get more trains and drivers to meet the demand but running at full capacity, especially given the alternative, is not a bad thing.
The only bad thing is the state government not rapidly increasing train frequencies for off-peak, when we have the rolling stock to do so (and also removing the VLine booking system, like, that is really stupid).
Whether we have enough drivers, I dunno
