Imagine if they’d had a crossover at Caulfield to let Frankston use the other lines? wait..

I was thinking the same thing being on the Pakenham line I'm pretty sure going from the city frankston could use platform 4then proceed to glen Huntley I think the station is next unless they removed those tracks or changed them but I doubt that as vline trains use both the Pakenham line and frankston 🤷 been a while since catching train might have a look tomorrow

I think they got rid of the cross over because they intend to use the Dandenong line at full capacity. I guess in emergencies they could reduce services from Dandenong to allow some Frankston services.

Man I cannot believe the 2525t was involved so many memories on that one

I'm surprised that this didn't make the news. Well done getting as much video as you did.

Magnificent catches of the train rescue, i like it 5 stars. Thumbs up. Keep up the perfect work, my friend, I subscribed your channel, Greetings from Portugal.

Interesting they didn't install a red rear marker light on the siemens set too. Thought that would be compulsory? I'm sure all the HCMT transfers recently have had one. Any idea what caused all the pantos to fold back and over. Any evidence of the overheads being repaired?

It appears to be a chronic issue with the Siemens specifically, similar thing happened at Laverton last year without any cause. Maybe pantos got replaced or adjusted and that’s caused some faults?

Was on the 1336 Down Seymour which stopped just past Jacana. Saw the individual on the tracks then climbed over the fence on the up side and disappeared. Only held us for 2 -3 minutes although had approached slowly, not sure if due to t'passr or signals.

How did you get home when the last trains have already gone?

are there gonna be platform screen doors on every station on the lines that are running through the metro tunnel? i know this sounds un realistic because of v line services
