Here in Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, all tracks are broad gauge - 5ft 3". What is the history in Australia that allowed both standard and broad lines to be built. I have travelled the Sydney to Melbourne train and my understanding is that half the track from Melbourne used to be broad gauge and was subsequently converted to standard gauge. Thank you.
Broad Gauge, Standard Gauge and Narrow Gauge mate. It all goes back to colonialism and the different independent states not wanting other states competing with each other.
N459 flying through Wandong station was like watching a Space Shuttle launch 🚀 😂

@@Schony747 Thank you for your reply. Crazy thinking!
I'm kinda surprised there were no Sprinters in this video. Were there any running that day?
Just a couple which I didn't manage to catch. The line between Seymour and Shepparton is closed and that frees up Vlos so Sprinters aren't required
@Schony747 Ah ok then.
👍👍👍❤🤍💚
