    Another excellent video - I'm really enjoying these...ironically, even though I am a bit of a gunzel, I have yet to travel on a V'locity. That's very un-Melbourne of me...

    Love your videos, but you need to speak to your boss about the horns they have on the vlocity trains😅. They need a nice big grunt like the C class locomotive 😅.

    Quite a few closed stations and lines along this section.
    What are the numbers in the white squares?

    • @driver667
      @driver667  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The numbers in the white squares are the kilometres from Melbourne. 👍😊

    • @xr6lad
      @xr6lad ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Those 2 closed lines are really the same line (each end when it joined back) It was the original main line that made a sort of U shape to both follow the terrain and stop at what were sizable towns and in the 2000’s they built a more direct higher speed deviation line
