8) Commute (train substitute note) — Endeavour Hills has no train station within the suburb (nearest heavy‑rail stations commonly used are Hallam or Dandenong) — I’m substituting a bus+train commute: expect to catch a local bus/drive to Dandenong/Hallam, then a train — the Dandenong → Flinders Street service typically takes about 38–40 minutes (allow additional local travel time to reach the station) citation:Endeavour Hills (no station) citation:Pakenham/Dandenong–Flinders St typical journey time summary.
