      Hey brother interesting video this time. I was hoping you can put together the video I asked you about awhile ago but also just a video of all closed down and Abandoned stations across the network

    Those old tracks would have been the short lived Webb Dock freight line, built in the 80s but abandoned a decade later.

The then ferry pilot would sometimes turn back around if I was late to get me on instead of having to wait another 20 mins. Then there was the time we ran out of gas in the middle of the shipping lane....

    Pump it up lads! Great work Lads and the T Man, quite enjoyed that. Was always backing the train/tram over the bike for that trip, but the missed tram in the city made it more interesting. I would suggest a similar race between somewhere on the Glen Waverley Line to somewhere on the Dandenong line (Maybe Glen Waverley to Clayton stations) would not be so close!
