Great vid. 👏. Still waiting for the Campbellfield station to reopen. Connectivity with the 902 on camp rd bus would be fantastic. .

That was a good video mate.

Did Ford Melbourne ever have a catering company which used to supply the big tourist ships in 1959?

Carn the borough love Port ❤️

Werribee racecourse station is an underground rave location every 20 years that has a strict invite only at certain times of the year. My last rave there was 2007 and I’m looking forward to the next one in 2027. Excellent video by the way🥸👍

Why did trains stop at Springvale cemetery? Because it was a dead end!

Great content 👍🏻

The crossing in Horsham has been replaced with another crossing. There is however a crossing on Edith St to Dooen rd that has had many accidents and is due to be fixed and/or removed.

yes one to Rowville

Great work.

The outer cirlce line was to originally take fresh farm produce from East Victoria to the markets. There was no govt railways back then transport was funded by businesses who took huge risks with their own money. Then without any help from the govermment, they Victorian Govt started making theor own roads and railways and undercut businesses.

"Why are these old lines turned into bike paths?" The government really does not like giving up its land, it may be an old road or a train right-of-way. The government knows that if it wanted to do something with the land in the future, it would be expensive to buy back. Also, much of the land is unusable for anything else. too narrow or is at the bottom of a cutting

The Kerang accident was not the driver did not swerve to miss the train. He actually could not see the flashing lights due to the intense fog and hit the train and due to the direction of the trains travel it dragged the truck around and caused the dig into the carriage

WELL THE MONTAGUE STREET BRIDGE IS CERTAINLY A BIG HIT THESE DAYS WELL FREQUENTLY HIT ANYWAY

WELL MELTON STILL HAS ITS OG STATION AN ALSO ITS OWN MINI BOOM GATES

Are you alive?

Awesome. Assume this got you into the course of your choice? Congratulations.

Have been watchin The Train Man's videos for a while now. For one quite young, he has an amazing presence and clearly does his research well. For the record, Glen Waverley is my home station, but given the parkiing, I always go to Mt Waverley. Might see you Max. Well done.

heatherdale looks like crap well they all do now an east ringwood is now gone from the line i use to love taking the train now id rather eat dog turds

so nunawading has an approiate name then cause i had many a battle round there when i was younger

always wondered why theres a 4th platform at box hill

well surrey hill stations gone an so is mont albert now replaced with a crappy generic eyesore known as union

remember my grampa always took the train from ringwood to canterbury as he worked at the telecom exchange there up till the explosion an he got hearing damage from it

So good - congrats Max. What are you studying now?

I may have an old Metcard somewhere. The scratches did reliy on the honesty of people.

I remember there used to be a terminal next to Elsternwick park

Well done

Im a few years late but i love your passion for this. One thing I would say, cease service on the Altona loop but keep the loop intact. In Brisbane we have the seldom-used Tennyson loop, which is a great help when we have inner city closures for the Cross River Rail, as Beenleigh and Gold Coast lines can redirect to the city via the Ipswich/Springfield lines. The same could be used in a pinch if theres ever any issues on V-Line, and they need to redirect via Werribee/Altona.

About 1.5 km closer to Dandenong from Lynbrook Station, there used to be another station called Lyndhurst with a few Victorian railways-owned houses around it. It was accessed via Bayliss Rd. In 1981, a few months before the station closed, along with another co-worker I installed some extra temporary phone lines to one of the houses for a local politician and he stood us to a nice home-cooked meal and some discussion about local history. That area haas been swallowed up by an industrial estate.

THAT OUTSIDE LINE USE TO GO RIGHT INTO TO THE ABANDONED NUMBER 1 PLATFORM WHICH NOW THE OLD NUMBER 2 BECAME 1 AN I'VE BEEN ON THAT TRAIN AN THE ORIGINAL ST KILDA ONE FLINDERS STREET HAD SO MUCH MORE CHARACTER BACK THEN

DIDN'T MENTION THAT THE ST KILDA STATION WAS BURNT DOWN IN THE 80'S

ONLY THING I'VE LEARNED IS HOW CRAP THE NEW STATIONS LOOK

MONTAGUE STREET STOP HAS SAE😭😭😭

Amazing video. Spent so much time as a kid riding this trail. Thanks for putting this together.

I used to walk on sandridge bridge when my mum worked in the city, I had no idea it was once used by trains

Very well documented video.

Very informative bro 👌

I was a signal fitter on the VR in the middle 1960's. That building on the end of the platform is the old D signal box. There were 4 signal boxes in the immediate area of Flinders st. station. There was A box to the west and B,C and D boxes at the east end of Flinders Street Station. They have all been replaced by a computerised signalling system. However the old D box and relay room may still house modern signalling equipment and is the reason the buildings are still there. D box was the last I worked at before leaving the railways.

Hey! Train Man you've been quiet of late, the last video was two years ago, what is happening?.

As a kid, I am now 84, I lived in East Kew. At the time there were still train lines in the East Kew station area complete with a few railway trucks. I think the rails even extended to Deepened. There was also an air raid shelter on the station site that "Werner's gang" had adopted as their headquarters. Werner was to be avoided.

G'day Train Man, it's been a while. I've seen this vid before and it's very good. Did you ever get to Fitzroy? Anyway, I'm not sure if you've seen this little doco on the North Carlton railway station and the Inner Circle, but it's a good one to watch. Great history and details the locals fight to save the building in the early 1980s. To think, some developer wanted to build a big, ugly concrete factory on the site! Thank goodness that didn't happen. Enjoy the doco. 👍 ua-cam.com/video/E42NgDYE2nA/v-deo.htmlsi=gW4quRlhA16uCRG3

Thank you for that insightful glimpse of our town's railway history.

U should have ran faster

Batman Station... Named after John Batman who was instrumental in the massacre of Australian Aboriginals in Tasmania and the "Black War" and participated in the "Black Line". It's the Melbourne version of "Hitler Station".

The Sandringham line definitely needs some level crossing removal attention for sure!
