Platform 8S, the bane of my existence when I'm running for Vlines

[@driver667]

It's always the farthest platform for your train when you are in a hurry 🤣🤣👍

[@margaretcampbell2681]

I know how you feel 😂

[@margaretcampbell2681]

I really like Vline. But with the price drop it’s going to be so crowded.

[@driver667]

@@margaretcampbell2681 yes it certainly is 👍😊

[@driver667]

Platform 8 south

[@mrrol5212]

sweet vid, love the sense of speed with these trains. where in the state is the furthest station the v/lines go to?

[@driver667]

They get along alright, maybe not as much as the ones in Europe etc, but they do alright. Very happy you enjoyed the video 👍 😊

[@RichardFelstead1949]

We have reached our destination.

[@driver667]

Yes we have 😊😊👍

[@unknown-ho3kt]

[@driver667]

Retired and sold to SSR. 👍😊

[@azurecorviknight4189]

Its obious why they called a Suburb, Sunshine...
SUPER MARIO SUNSHINE WAHOO!!!

[@driver667]

Yes..... just a hunch but that might not be the reason. 🤣🤣

[@BlackCat-fr4ue]

Any chance of a Sunshine to Newport DV?

[@driver667]

Yes, it might be a little while but I am working on getting that done 👍😊

[@Bobbydazzlla]

That would be interesting. We 're originally from Yarraville/Spotswood area and my brother and I forgot about that line that eventually connects up between Spotswood and Newport from Sunshine.

[@hamzairfan-ej2wb]

Why did they extend sunshines platforms is it for 9 car vlocity

[@DanielDiaz-um1xd]

I would say yes, I grabbed the quote from the PTV website "Three Existing 9 car VLocity services will stop at Sunshine Station following the completion of platform lengthening at the station." This took effect 28/05/23

[@driver667]

Yes,as stated, for 9 car VLocity sets. 👍😊

[@PaulNoake]

Or maybe not 😂

[@driver667]
