    Great video as always!
    Glad we got to hear driver 8033 respond to the radio check on the third attempt. Don’t know if I would have been able to cope without that closure…

    I am assuming this was a 3 car Vlocity set.
    Interesting the stop at Clayton but no stop at Oakleigh. I guess the line is reaching capacity with all the medium warning signals - another train a couple of sections ahead.
    Thank you for taking us along for the ride.

    Another very nice video.
    I used to live on the Dandenong Rd side of Sandown Park and have plenty of memories of having to walk all the way around the outskirts of the park itself instead of cutting through it to get home, except on rare occasions when the gates were open. Mainly because the 800 wasn't running or schedules didn't match up.
    Hey, at least I got exercise.

    I am not sure if it is allowed but is there a chance of a video of your drivers cabin. Unless I have missed one. I understand timing is not always possible just would be interesting.
    Thank you for your great videos, just have them playing on my second monitor relaxing hearing the rails and other normal sounds.

      I don't show the controls of current vline trains due to security concerns but here is a link to a video of the Tait train showing the controls in the cab. Glad to hear you enjoy them. ua-cam.com/video/qJPP8uO7EFw/v-deo.htmlsi=czHOTKlpH5ahS8Dk

      Not the same Carnegie of my youth. Underpass on the station side. Earliest memory is the installing of boom barriers in the 60's. Started and finished many journeys there.
