Again another great video, can member a siding on your right at Malvern and another one and your left at Toorak. I learnt at a young age that the Caufield to Richmond spelt :MATHS". Again a great series.
Those sidings are long gone now. Glad you enjoyed the video 👍😊
Never knew that and I grew up in Melbourne .
Well done, would love to see a full video from start to finish if you have time to edit them all together.
I put them up in sections as most people I talk to seem to like shorter videos to watch. I know my own preference also is for shorter videos with end screens I can click on to go to the follow on video. Glad you enjoyed the videos 👍😊
@@driver667 Agree the short ones are best
When did they remove the crossovers at Caulfield between the Dandenong and Frankston mains and wondering why they did so? A great deal of flexibility has been lost.
Yes, we are all disappointed at the loss of flexibility. They were removed at the start of this year to make the new signalling for the high capacity suburban trains easier. 🤔👍
Agreed. Spending money to downgrade is usually shortsighted but that's government for you.
Thanks for sharing .Great video. between Caufield and South Yarra most of our signals were "home " signals whilst the other line has "automatic" signals. I understand that home signals are needed for points but why all the other home signals instead of automatics?
That's the standard now. Home signals cannot be passed without permission from the signaller in charge unlike automatic signals. Less chance of an accident. 👍😊
Wonderful video. Thank You. Any chance of doing some suburban lines?
I have done Sunbury, Williamstown and the racecourse line so far. You can find them in the suburban playlist. I have plans for more 👍😊
Thank you 667 I’ve been with you to Bairnsdale & back. 😊
Just out of curiosity, did you do the whole trip or did you have a relief driver along the way?
Long trip, Is your day now done?
I run the trip complete in one direction after some work at the start then run it back the next day 👍😊
Why at 17:40 do the tracks have another rail in the middle?
Protection just in case of a derailment. It would keep the train on the bridge 👍😊
@@driver667 Interesting tat the viaduct only has one rail but the sky rails have 2 rails
@@archmcdonald6170 I guess the new standard is for two these days 👍😊
@@driver667 Lol, always thought that the trains had a 3rd wheel XD
@@GabrielTobing 🤣🤣🤣👍
I'd be so scared of accidentally turning down the wrong tracks if I was a train driver!
Lots of training is required to be a train driver. There are lots of things to learn 🙂👍
