A 2007 restructure of train ticketing in Melbourne involved the removal of Zone 3, with these stations being re-classified to Zone 2.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Moynihan |first=Stephen |date=3 March 2007 |title=No more Zone 3 lifts load on commuters |url=https://www.theage.com.au/national/no-more-zone-3-lifts-load-on-commuters-20070303-ge4cc2.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221229011957/https://www.theage.com.au/national/no-more-zone-3-lifts-load-on-commuters-20070303-ge4cc2.html |archive-date=29 December 2022 |access-date=29 December 2022 |website=The Age}}</ref> This brought the cost of train fares down, improving system accessibility for the public.

In April 2016, plans to potentially run a regular revenue [[Tait (train)|Tait set]] service on the Belgrave line was announced. This came following [[Division of La Trobe|La Trobe MP]] [[Jason Wood (politician)|Jason Wood's]] push for the idea as part of the greater "Puffing Billy master plan". The Tait service would be aimed at tourists visiting [[Puffing Billy Railway|Puffing Billy]]. In November 2016, $1 million was committed to restoring a Tait set currently stored at the [[Newport Workshops]]. The Tait service was expected to originate at Flinders Street station as a direct service to Belgrave bypassing the City Loop.<ref>{{cite news |date=April 2016 |title=Traffic |newspaper=Herald Sun |url=http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/victoria/push-for-return-of-red-rattler-carriages-in-puffing-billy-upgrade/news-story/7bafa814551ca132c87bd46ee490a83c}}</ref> No such service was ever made.
