Great trip ❤😊
Very happy you enjoyed the ride 👍 😀
Was neat to hear the conversation with Metrol
@@KotaruKun91 very happy you enjoyed the video and some of the conversations that go on behind the scenes. 👍😀
I thoroughly enjoyed this, even though it brought back some memories of opportunities lost. Oh well, life goes on and I really have nothing to complain about.😊
@@martythemartian99 you get to experience these things via RUclips. 😀😀 Glad you enjoyed it. 👍😀
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. 😊
@@georgeheilman4243 I haven't done that yet. 🤔 I would have to look at how to put that together as a video. 🤔👍😀
Interesting there's a morning train and afternoon train (same train of course) i asked this question where is it during the day in the siding of course that someone who explained to me😀
They have to go somewhere when not required. This is one of a number of places. 👍😀
@@driver667 yes exactly
@@Mediawatcher2023 👍😀
👍
👍😀
Do you know ahead of time that you will going into No 2 road or do you just follow the points that get set for it?
@@cabbagepatch8947 that set of points are hand operated. The driver must ensure they are set for number 2 road and change them if they are not. 👍😀
The second Arden Street yard
@@tomhenry6440 👍😀
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?
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. 👍😀
Is Arden Street Sidings is use for V/Line Trains or Metro Trains.?
@@vlinenclasstrains Arden St is just for Vline trains. 👍😀
@@driver667 Got it.👍
Did not know Metrol is controlling Arden St Yard
They control the main line in that area. As such, it is Metrol we need to talk to for access into and out of the siding. 👍😀
#8552 is that right.?
@@vlinenclasstrains correct 👍😀
Genuine question, what happens if a train passes a red light?
@@ExzoXV the driver is replaced and an investigation starts up to determine if it was a driver error or some other problem that caused it. 👍😀
@@driver667 thanks 🙏
@@ExzoXV you're welcome 👍😀
sorry for being un informed but what was the reason fir that ?
@@Darrenraitt the train is kept over in this siding between the morning and afternoon peak hours when less trains are required. 👍😀
@@driver667 thanks 👍
@@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. 👍😀
Not the most thrilling video. 😅 But a little insight into that astonishing jigsaw puzzle, that is running a Railroad!
Really? It made my wittle heart race. 😆
@@downunderrob I like to show some of the things that go on behind the scenes also. Great for trainees that also watch these. 👍😀
@@martythemartian99 I hope you recover ok. 😀😀👍
@@driver667You’re
very thoughtful Colin
😀 Thank you. 👍😀😀
