[@TeamEXAngus]

2:55 are you required to use the whistle when running express through a former station?

[@driver667]

The rules just say stations but I like to toot just the same. 👍😀

[@final7151]

Have been waiting for this hehe, thanks for the vid man!

[@therealsammyvee888]

Same. Also is it just me or do the horns sound a bit off in this Vlocity?

[@driver667]

You're welcome. Different vlocity units have slightly different horns. Glad you enjoyed it 👍 😀

Thank you. Very happy you enjoyed it 👍 😀

[@emdB67]

Was watching you approach Berwick and heard the Low-High horn both on my computer and from outside as the empty Bairnsdale Vlocity was on its way back to Traralgon. Same driver perchance? 🤔

[@driver667]

Hmmm... you never know 🤔 it's possible 👍😀

[@morphix007]

jesus. So many changes they changed cardinia road about 4 times in 10 years, whats the elevated section in pakenham

[@driver667]

Pakenham skyrail coming soon. It eliminates the crossings through Pakenham. 👍😀

[@gregthompson3274]

Have you had a chance to drive the new high capacity metro trains that use the Cranbourne- pakenham lines? I only used them occasionally but am impressed,the drivers cabin looks like the velocitys

[@driver667]

No, I drive for Vline these days so I won't get a drive of the HCMT at all. 👍😀

[@justinwright4833]

Whats the "s" at 0:55? Also why does the vlocity have 2 horns?

[@BennyBlack1]

Siding

[@driver667]

As stated, S - siding. Vlocity horns, high note and low note. For example at a station the low note might be better to not deafen people close by. 👍😀

[@Mediawatcher2023]

@@driver667 I always thought the low note to signal train is leaving the platform and the high note is a warning when it comes to crossings.

[@driver667]

@@Mediawatcher2023 there is no actual rule to how it is used but I like to use the low note when there are plenty of people around departing a platform. 👍😀

@@driver667 ahh ok

[@Jack-ub8kc]

Horns sound a bit tired!

[@driver667]

They've been working hard non stop 🤣🤣👍😀

[@tomhenry6440]

This is the year when Pakenham is boom gate free

[@driver667]

I reckon it will be close but not quite 🤔 🤔👍😀

[@emdB67]

SAVE THE BOOM GATES. BOOM GATES MATTER. 😁

@@emdB67 there will still be a couple left but for how long 🤔😀👍

[@thomashofer3549]

Have you got any morning runs on the Bendigo line?

[@driver667]

My roster moves around a lot. I've been around the north east and east a lot lately. 👍😀

G-Day to you Putty Cat and 667, its Monday morning here and I just woke up, Its cool down down some what here once again. I see that you step- up in the World?

[@driver667]

We're flying high today 😀 we have rain and storms here during our summer 🤔🤣🤣👍🐈🐈

[@brianmcgill7314]

You know the clay patches means the ballast needs attention 🤔 It’s been replaced with silt.

[@peejay1981]

You know the wide gauge means the ballast needs attention! 🤣🤣 (Ok, I'll see myself out...)

[@driver667]

😀😀👍

[@brianmcgill7314]

In this case Metro needs to look after its infrastructure, Oh sorry I meant the taxpayer. It’s a form of erosion, If unchecked over time there be no base/support for the sleepers.

[@driver667]

Hmmm... 👍😀

[@brianmcgill7314]

It’s the whole rail system not just the area your showing.
