    Interesting that you can be shifted on either side rather than have to stick to one, depending on direction. The quirks of V-Line, I suppose.

    Hopefully, it's not too long after Vlocitys start running between Waurn Ponds and Warrnambool, that you are able to get footage and upload it to youtube. Vlocitys will start running before the end of the year.

    Have an interest in rail signalling and always keep an eye out for them on my rail travels. Signal videos are most welcome. Remember, as a kid sticking my head out the window of the red rattlers and watching the signal change as the front of the train went past it
