Driver's View Upfield to North Melbourne

25 Minutes. In the late 1980s there were firm plans to convert this line to Light Rail and remove trams from Sydney Rd. Strong opposition.
With increasing patronage, luckily the change did not happen.

    Thanks for this one. I guess this was a mid-morning train. Appreciate the street crossing markings as well as a couple of other designations e.g. Brunswick tram depot. Get my bearings again.

    Interesting to see the bike path going along the track, and that so many are using it :-D

    Brilliant example of Australian public transport at its finest along with the tram system. Well done mate, cheers from Ashford (UK)

    This seems to be a well-patronized line! As time goes on and fuel prices rise, electrically-powered trains and trams will become the main mode of transportation in all cities, so investment in them now will be appreciated.

    What a pleasure to watch a normal railfan video. So this was shot in AM peak judging by the sun low in the east, and assuming the train is travelling south to the north side of the skyline seen in the distance. My question is, by what means to most of these commuters continue their journey south into the heart of the big Melb or whatever its knickname really is. Gotta get down there one of these years.

    Acually, there's already a video of North Melbourne to Upfield. House train uploaded that video.

    I used this line when they shut Craigieburn for 2 weeks last year. No extra trains. Just full trains by the time they left Gowrie. Coburg was insane. Anyone further in were out of luck.

    good video, lots of level crossings there on that line and in the 80s a lot were manually operated surprised the old gatehouses and some signal boxes remain. Do you think train frequency will increase on this line as higher density housing takes place along route?
