Loved it. Great video. The older I get, the more I regret never following my childhood dream of being a train driver, so this is as close as I get. Thank you!
After watching several videos on your channel I can say that Australia's railway system is really good. It won't have a high speed system like in Europe but it seems very efficient and well communicated.
Very happy to hear you have enjoyed the videos. It would be nice to have the standard of trains across Europe but Australia is not bad. Thank you for your feedback. 👍😀
Are there plans to fully double-track the line? What about restoring electrification? Would such electrification be DC or AC? They really missed an opportunity to not add express tracks with the Skyrail-everything west of Pakenham should be quad-track at minimum. And the Metro should have reached at least to Caulfield instead of creating a bottleneck between South Yarra and Pakenham.
A lot of the bases for the old catenary are still left. I wonder if any are still viable for re-use. I also wonder if any grade separations and/or curve straightening is planned eat of Pakenham.
High School English Teacher reckoned I would learn nothing by looking out the classroom window........Proved him wrong. Drove trains for 30 years! Retired New Zealand railways.
Man sometimes needs a train journey and contemplation. And sometimes go wrestle a bear. Life's like that. Ok that's enough philosophy, i'll go back to normal, chuu chuuu! :))
@@HoolyDooly-si2zz:)))) Yeah lets go off on a tangent....... Here's a different perspective you most likely did not know before. Jesus Christ the Messiah (peace be upon him) was taken to Heaven by Lord/God/TheCreator because some wanted him dead, so God saved him (be patient, continue reading, you will see ''the matrix'', upto you to escape it). (extensive detail in folder 3 in my playlists) The word christ comes from the Greek word 'christos' meaning chosen/annointed (annointment is the act of chosing) the word messiah comes from the Arabic/Hebrew word 'messiach', again meaning chosen. Jesus did not speak Greek or Arabic or Hebrew, he spoke Aramaic. John 14:28 “I go to the Father, for the Father is greater than I” John 20:17 '‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’” John 5:30 "I cannot do anything on my own." Mark 10:18 ''Why do you call me good? No one is good, except God alone.'' (that ''father'' does not mean flesh and bone father, rather TheGuide/God, worship TheCreator/TheGuide/TheGod and not the prophets, peace be upon them all) So, Who chose Jesus? TheCreator/TheGod/TheLord did. To do what? To convey that there is TheCreator/TheGod/TheLord and only ThatSupreme power should be worshipped and prayed to and NO idols/conjured up god/s by human kind, be it a man, a spirit of a man, a sun, a star, a moon, a tree, an animal etc etc be worshipped in any way. Anything that is worshipped besides TheGod is a god, that is false god, hence with a small ''g''. There is one Creator, hence why TheGod, the only One deserving of worship. What does Allah mean as a word? It means TheCreator/TheGod/TheLord. What does ''elaah'' mean as a word? It means any idol or conjured up god or gods that are false and do not deserve worship of any kind, hence why Islam rejects all gods but TheGod/TheCreator/TheLord/Allah. Why are all religions in opposition of Islam? Because they have a god or many gods but TheGod that is worshipped in someway or another. Have you ever read a Quran from start to finish? That you can answer for your self. (I recommend the Sahih International english translation, it's good). Best wishes. ------------------------------- .....btw..... Jesus did preach to worship the OneGod/TheCreator and not anything else, and so did his followers, peace be upon them all. This unsettled the Roman Empire because this idea of Monotheism went against their pagan beliefs where the emperor was both emperor and god. They persecuted the followers of Jesus and even attempted to kill Jesus, even a Roman Empire servant Saul of Tarsus was out to kill Jesus.

Saul of Tarsus is also known in todays christianity as Saint Paul, so todays christians are actually on the teaching of ''Saint'' Paul which brings in trinity and godhead figure of Jesus and rejects Monotheism. -Jesus was commanded to preach Monotheism, which he did and early followers were Monotheistic (Islamic) believing people, which later changed with the Roman Empires paganism spreading -Jesus was commanded to preach ONLY to the Israelites, which he did, but after him Saul of Tarsus aka ''saint Paul'' started to preach to the Gentiles, which is the foundation of todays christiandom. -Jesus was commanded to rule for the circumsicion which he did, but it was taken out after he left -Roman Empire in 325 AD held a council, with empire alligned 'scholars'' to decide and VOTE on whether Jesus was to be worshipped or not, they VOTED that Jesus be accepted as god (in aliagn with the pagan beliefs of the Roman traditions) and ever since the trinity became the 'christian way' (not what Jesus preached), and sinc that time the Church has chronicled how many times the ''Bible'' has been changed, verses removed and verses added to SUIT this altered idea of trinity!

There are plans to double track Morwell to Traralgon at some point. No more electrification is planned though. 🤔👍😀
Umm should have been quad tracked from caulfield to dandengong
@@qjtvaddict unfortunately that would have been politically bad at the time of building it so we got two tracks. 👍😀
@@qjtvaddict Yup. It's a joke that it wasn't.
When are they ever going to open the new platform in Morwell?
Lots of things to do behind the scenes, but it is coming 👍😀
A lot of the bases for the old catenary are still left. I wonder if any are still viable for re-use.

EAST of Pakenham (oops)
The old bases would not be any good now. There are no curve straightening or grade separations planned as far as I know. 👍😀
Поездка очень понравилась,все было замечательно и неутомительно.Большое спасибо за доставленное удовольствие!
