V/Line Trains at Geelong Station during Peak Hour - Victorian Transport

In this video we see some afternoon peak hour action in Geelong; Victoria's second largest city situated around 75km southwest of Melbourne. Filmed between 5:40pm - 7:30pm, we see various V/Line trains at Geelong station which is the main station in the city. We mostly see Vlocity DMU's but we also see some N Class locomotive hauled trains, and the resident Y Class locomotive doing some shunting in the yard.
Geelong station opened in November 1856 as part of the construction of the Melbourne - Geelong railway, originally as a dead-end terminus. The opening of the line south towards Winchelsea in 1867 necessitated the need for a new station, which saw the current station built between 1877 & 1881. Geelong is one of only three railway stations in Australia to feature a 19th century train shed and is listed on the Victorian Heritage Register. Geelong is the 4th busiest station on the V/Line rail network, while the Geelong line is V/Line's busiest.

This is a great video

[@JTRAIN]

Let me give you a fact about the Vlocity’s
VL00-VL79 are known as the Mk I Vlocities
VL80-to VL114 are known as the Mk II vlocitys, running on both broad and standard gauge

[@jw_media4577]

Good video

[@trainco1643]

Awesome footage, keep up the terrific work! Until now I don’t think I’ve ever seen a full compilation of trains at Geelong station. I was actually gonna request a compilation of trains at Geelong until then I saw this 👍🎩

[@ThebusofdoomFSX]

Thanks Trainco16! I actually did find it odd that there weren't too many long videos of trains at this station bar maybe one or two. It's such a busy station that isn't too far out of Melbourne so I'd thought more transit enthusiasts would have paid a visit.

[@trainco1643]

@@ThebusofdoomFSX is it possible if I could please request a compilation or some footage of trains at Bendigo, South Geelong, Seymour, Castlemaine or the new Flinders extension in South Australia? Cheers 👍

[@fauzirahman3285]

It's funny that the Geelong tunnel looks like it just barely allows the Vlocity train to fit in there. Kinda reminds me of the London Underground and the tube trains that goes in it.

[@Charles-SG]

I’ve actually never used the v line before.

[@kennethjones6650]

14:37 first leading velocity was probably my favourite livery they were in but that shot shows a bit of old school and new school

[@CaseysTrains]

V/Line need Cab Coaches like most American Push-Pull Trains.

[@ThebusofdoomFSX]

I recall V/Line actually did consider the idea during the 1980's when they were converting the Harris suburban cars into the H Sets. The idea was to use a 3 car set with a P Class locomotive and operate a push-pull style train with a converted Harris cab car on the other end, but this idea fell through due to safety and crash concerns. There's no point in having cab cars these days as the future is all Vlocity.

[@GunzelingGarbo102]

Ahh yes Geelong station, quite a handy spot to live near if you want to get to Melbourne easily. They didn’t get mad at you for hanging around filming? I’ve been kicked out before!

[@ThebusofdoomFSX]

Nah I had no problems at all. V/Line's generally pretty good with photographers and their website clearly says you're allowed to.
