thanks for the memoryberries again.
some REALLY make me feel my age, waiting for the guy to open the (manual) white gates on Station Road St. Albans.
Very happy to hear you enjoyed it. Those gates have been gone quite a while now 👍😊
Love these. Well done. More please.
Very happy you enjoy them. 👍😊
Must be 65 years since I caught a train from Footscray,lost all it's character glad I missed it!
Certainly different than back then 👍😊
Wow talk about changes,old st Albans gone!,footscray straightened Terrific mate,👋👋👏👏👍
Quite a few changes over the years. Glad you enjoyed it 👍 😊
Wow, amazing to see how things have changed since I moved to Germany in 2011. I was already surprised to see how the level crossing at Watergardens has been eliminated. Little did I know this was only the beginning of changes. Thanks for this video. Makes me even more excited to come back for a holiday next year 👍🏼
Very happy to bring you up to date and to hear you enjoyed it 👍 😀
Full support from me. salam from bali. keep update friend
Thank you. Greetings to you. Very happy to hear you enjoy them 👍 😀
Cool!
Glad you enjoyed it 👍 😊
best at speed x2 ..I like outer melbourne..still has country feel..Thanks for posting. Now live in Brisbane.
A nice quick trip at 2x. 😀 Glad you enjoyed it 👍 😀
Fantastic from us on the farm on the Eastern Eyre Peninsula. I get on these trains as often as I can. I work it in with Collingwood matches. Only have to drive 1 1/2 hours and catch 2 planes to get to Melb
That's a bit of a trek to see the footy. But good excuse for a train ride. Glad you enjoyed the ride 👍 😊
Driving a Metro Line rather than a VLine explaning why you were stoppin at every station.
@@davidholder3207 yes, this was a Metro suburban service stopping all stations. 👍😀
I used to live in kalimba crescent and it was just a paddock with the trainlines, now there is a train station "Coolaroo" the electric lines ended at braodmeadows station!
Things change over time, that's for sure 👍😊
Putty Cat you do your self good all the time,
Thank you. Always happy to hear you enjoyed them 👍😀
I remember little country towns along this route . A day out in the country
Things have changed over the years 😀👍
this is good
Thank you. Very happy you enjoyed it 👍 😀
Goooood from iraq
Very happy to hear you enjoyed it 👍 😊
Nice video! I am a Sunbury resident, and I live near the dead end at Shields Street. You may have seen my house
Very happy you enjoyed it 👍 😊 waving as I go by 👋👋
The only thing is is that it's on OShanassy Street
@@tomhenry6440 👍😊
9:31 Original Sydenham Station.
Yes, it is abandoned. 👍😊
Can I assume the white boxed number in the bottom left corner is distance to Flinders?
It is distance in kilometres but the distance in Victoria is all measured from Southern Cross. Good job 👍😊
Wonder how long those paddocks survive,that octopus 🐙 Melbourne tentacles stretch far and wide with urban sprawl enjoyed the run through the loop
Glad you enjoyed it. Those houses keep creeping further out. 👍😊
So very true. And if you live in the middle ring suburbs you get 16 storey apartment blocks and traffic congestion . 🙁
@@margaretcampbell2681 the world is getting more and more crowded 😀👍
Are you able to add a speed readout to the video, aka the way some European drivers view videos do?
My cam doesn't have that ability unfortunately. 👍😊
I noticed at certain points, the driver was doing two honks when approaching track workers. Is this a new rule? Thought that was only done in the Sydney metropolitan?
Not a rule, more just an acknowledgement to the gang that they have been seen. 👍😊
Love the station names; Diggers Rest conjures up the image of workers all leaning on their shovels.
Glad you enjoy them. 😀👍
The area was named back in the Gold Rush days. The "Diggers" on their way to the central Victorian goldfields would stop overnight there as it was about a days walk from Melbourne.
@@Wdeane1957 Excellent, thank you for telling me, I love place names and their history. I'm in the UK and we have some bizarre ones. I did notice a few name transplants from the UK on the trip too.
@angelmessenger8240 thank you. Many of the towns and areas were named after places in the UK by early explorers and settlers. It's interesting as we have a mixture of English place names and Aboriginal names: Doncaster, Preston, Berwick, St Albans, then there's Werribee, Narre Warren, Wonthaggi, Truganinna, Koo Wee Rup to name a few.
Great video! A little shame this video wasn't recorded since Monday 10/07/23 due to a lot of signalling changes between Tottenham and South Kensington.
Yes, it is on my list to re record it in the future. Glad you enjoyed it. 👍 😀
What speed is this train travelling, it seems fast. Great video
@@margaretcampbell2681 glad you enjoyed it. The speed is 115kph to Watergardens then 80kph from Keilor Plains into the city. 👍😊
Best job ever!
@@pug2411 👍😊
Have you ever got to drive a HCMT yet?
No I haven't. 👍😊
having seen comments that the track quality isnt good enough in Australia. I watching this video with interest as its semi high density running. I wonder what track maintenance vehicles you have and what generaration. thats the first act to put right. secondly how often are they sent over each section of track. Thirdly do they have diffetnt machines for specialist tamping over Points and crossings.
The last point thats worth making is what seems to be overrdundancy of points and crossings. it seems to me as if some planning could be do to simplify the routing of trains. therefore simplifying the track layouts.meaning less points and crossings. which in turn means less maintenance wasted.
Thirdly. the Government needs to standardise on a gauge to fit everywhere. its dumb have three gauges, when one will do.
The tracks outside the suburbs are mostly 160kph and are in good shape. The system has been going through rationalisation over the years and this has reduced options for when things go wrong. It may save money but when something goes wrong, everything just stops whereas when we had options to switch to another line for example, we could run trains around problem areas. As for gauge, if only we had started out with one gauge. This is the legacy we have from those early days. We almost had our state completely converted to standard gauge in the 1940's until the war dried the money up and the rest is history, as they say. 👍😊
Fabulous video. Are these train driver view videos speeded up, or is this done in real time?
They are in real time. Glad you enjoy them 👍 😀
I talked to my wife last night and mentioned this. Then I looked at the video time and it dawned on me that 42.47 minutes is about the real time to get into the City.Thanks again.@@driver667 .
👍😊
I miss watching Driver's View in Victoria and NSW Australia. Sure wish they could get this type rail for even just Alberta Canada.
You never know if enough people make noise about it 👍😀
9:32 What was this station? Your train passed through without stopping.
Original Sydenham station. It was moved a little and then renamed Watergardens. 👍😊
@@driver667 Okey-dokes!
@@neilforbes416 stations do move to another location and renamed due to the sky rail project that is happening at the moment
Bruh the description's wrong
It says Comeng.
Were you driving a Simens train actually or a Comeng as the Comeng horn is that of a DERM or a Xtrapolis.
Also whats with the blurring... Some famous guy wants to keep their identity a secret?
Thank you, a typo snuck in. It was a Siemens train. I have changed it now. Some one on the platform asked to remain anonymous. 👍😊
When was the blurring?
@@starktravels172 one of the platforms. 👍😊
Comeng?
Siemens train 👍😊
they finally did up the Diggers rest station
They certainly did. It happened with electrification through to Sunbury. 👍😀
