Fascinating stuff mate! I can only imagine the amount of research you are doing to create these videos... I'm attempting something "similar" with my current Transport Fever2 game series on early New Holland/Australia (hysterical) development where the research is mind boggling!!! :) Cheers, Stephen.

So we had two stations called Church Street? That would have been confusing. Also, I never knew about Pic Nic Station in the Burnley Gardens. You learn something new every day. I see a rabbit hole coming! Keep up the good work!

Good video mate. Just a note on some place name pronunciation. Cremorne is pronounced "Kre-mourne" . Kre (short e like in tech) and mourne (like mourning the dead 😂). Kew is pronounced line the letter Q.

Hey! I've been enjoying these videos! They really touch on subjects that are surprisingly hard to find information on, too. I might suggest turning the gain down on the microphone a little. There are parts of the video where you're having the audio clip (?) quite badly, and render the actual audio pretty difficult to listen to at sections. Please keep the videos up, they're fantastic!

Your wrong when at 15.00 you stated after this the line passed “UNDERNEATH” Whitehorse road before pulling into Deepdene station as in reality Whitehorse road would not be crossed until after “Leaving” Deepdene station and not only that but the line passed Whitehorse road at “Ground Level” over the Tram line to the Union road terminus at Surrey Hills, I really think accuracy should always be the utmost importance and there’s no excuse

Another great video mate!

face reveal when?

I think you've made the life of many researching this topic very easy indeed! Thanks for video!

As a Melbournian I found this super interesting.

Well done mate!

I knew there was a proposal about a tram getting built in Williamstown. Now I learn it. lol u should do the melb Suburban Railway network history

Great video. You're like taitset, but very detail on the line/history/plan details. I hope to see the next fascinating video ❤

Shields has a lot to answer for. And so does James Wallace!!

Interesting video mate!

Amazing content you upload -- it's a blessing when I see your videos in my recommended. Thank you!

The Cohuna line started at Elmore, not Rochester as you said

John in Brisbane. Found your video interesting and educational. I've subscribed. I'm on board, toot-toot!

Overall great work and a very interesting video. But it's easy to tell you're from the city because you mispronounce almost as many country locations as you get right. But I have subscribed. 🙂

Great video also Seymour Rail Heritage Centre has the former Spirit of Progress stock on Standard Gauge

you ruin the video by saying 1940 or 1949, when you MEANT to say 1840 and 1849, for example!

I feel like reopening ballarat-bendigo would be a far more useful route, takes a couple of hours to drive, but 6 hours plus using public transport in its current form. This would significantly in my mind increase patronage also to and from echuca and district possibly even opening up a dialogue toward services to Deniliquin

It's worth noting that the more recent reports into reopening the line suggesting that it wasn't viable financially had credible accusations of gilding their projected costs (eg. Buying back the existing heritage station buildings and restoring them to fit modern code when all of them have suitable locations for adjacent modern stations ala Creswick, ensuring full 160km/h operation when 130km/h is a lot cheaper and enough to beat the congested Geelong road in travel time, etc) although there's been little movement or rumblings on reopening the line since.

A great video but please put titles on the historic photographs sop we know what they are and when they were taken.

Fascinating video. Can I ask where you got your information about the multiple sites of the Racecourse stations? I can find stuff about the first and last stations, but not the middle one, just short of Kororoit Creek Road.

I grew up in that area. My parents worked for the mental health authority. We use to walk up that line and played at the old station on weekends.

Passenger services ran on the Geelong to Ballarat line well into the 1980s when i travelled on the line. But as the route of only a few Melbourne to Ballarat and further afield services. Printed country timetables will confirm this but were often thrown away when out of date. I seem to recall it was the Great Northern Limited train that I specifically sought out for my travel on the line one Saturday after studying the timetables. I can't recall any travellers using the intermediate stations and very few getting on at the Geelong area stops. An indication of how little the patronage might be if the huge expense of upgrading the track and providing passenger services between these country cities.

It's interesting how the mixed trains took a similar time between Ballarat and Geelong (2hrs 15 minutes) compared to using the Vlocity trains to do the same, except via Melbourne (2hrs 19 minutes)! A single car Sprinter DMU and much needed track upgrades, could make the trip possible in under an hour, even with three or so stops between Ballarat and Geelong. Otherwise use the Endeavour railcars from NSW when/if the line is upgraded to standard gauge (which was supposed to happen).

Nice job. I think the main reason the Outer Circle line was built was that the speculators who purchased land along the path prior to the South Yarra-Oakleigh line being built were powerful enough to get it built so they could cash in on their land purchases. Clearly, it was not needed by the time it was approved. As a youngster, I used to play in the cutting at High St, East Kew. I think most of the bridge is still there with the superstructure still visible on the eastern side. The western side cutting was filled in long ago when the High St east-bound traffic lane was realigned to go straight instead of curving around to cross the bridge. The cutting on the eastern side was filled in much more recently.

Very thorough and very interesting, as i am familiar with most of these parts of Melbourne and interested in their history. You need to proof-read your narration however,as there were quite a few blatant and important errors made.Your mispronunciation of Prahran, Poath rd. and Barnesbury rd. and your spelling of Operations to name a few.

Very informative!

It's so sad to me that the Outer Circle didn't survive. Would have been a game changer had it existed into the modern day, alas it was not meant to be. Thankful that the alignment has been preserved though, I have a very slim hope that we could one day see trains run from Fairfield to Oakleigh once again.

Loved the video mate. I live on the Alamein Line and have spent so much time walking along the paths where the Outer Circle Line once was so I love hearing and learning more about it.

Great first video mate!

The Suburban Rail Loop is just a replacement for the Old Outer Circle Line, the SRL is just a waste of time and money, it's laughable that one of the stations planned is Doncaster, because there were plans for the extension of the Kew line and there was going to be a station out at Doncaster the planned extension was given the green light, the Suburban Rail Loop is just a joke, and a budget blowout too.

Well produced and an Interesting video but may I suggest you speak a bit slower.

Good effort, there is a lot of history and change to talk about on this line and I think you covered it well. Having riden the Outer Circle trail by bike, its good to see how it all began. I want to extend my travels over the GW line to Hughesdale and towards Fairfield after watching this.
