Have you done, or would you do, a driver's view of a train on a turntable? That might be fun to see. Cool video. 😊

So you park the train there, now you're one and a half stations away from Southern Cross... and you're expected to walk back or something? Or are you expected to sit there all day and wait for it to be needed again?

@driver667 Ай бұрын

North Melbourne station is not far away. We can catch a train back or request a car if we are short of time for the next move we have to do. 👍😀

@@driver667do they use both sidings seen here? I know A66 and its H set used it between peaks before it was retired from VLP service a few years back. Given how rusty that track is, I’d say it isn’t.

You are correct, we only use the one siding. 👍😀
