So good to be back in the cabin again and hearing all the associated sounds. Being outside is cool but inside is the best!

I get out there a fair bit. Every chance I could have been your driver 👍🙂

Your videos reminded of the first time my fiancée and I visited the Riverina area of NSW south of Wagga Wagga many many years ago. We never realised how flat the majority of Australia is. Ruling grades from 1 in 100 to 1 in 200. Also am I right in thinking lines into Swan Hill and Euchca need a few bucks spent on maintenance and upgrades?

There is a lot of flat country, that's for sure. Swan Hill will need some money spent on it in the process of upgrading for vlocity units in the future. 👍😀

Another great video from you sir. Will be sad when the N Class is replaced by the Vlocity. Then there will be no discussions about any Buffet Car, it will be BYOF/D 🙂

Hey Drive - are the Swan Hills crewed by Melbourne drivers as a rest job? Or changeover at Bendigo by a Bendigo crew? Or a combination depending on day of the week? Are there even crews based at SH any more?

@driver667

The crewing is shared between Melbourne and Bendigo drivers depending on the run. There are no drivers based at Swan Hill. 👍😀

Just remember driver your the boss 😎 so it doesn't really matter what the conductor says you can park the buffet car any damn place you want... and if the conductor complains well you tell them where to go... 😊 ..
