- Longer format TV advertisement that ran in Melbourne for V/Line country rail and coach services that run through regional Victoria. This period followed from the 'New Deal for Country Passengers' in 1981 where new rolling stock was introduced for country services and some branch line rail car services replaced by road coaches.
In this advertisement the then-new air-conditioned N-type carriages which replaced older wooden ones. The locomotive hauling is a diesel-electric A-class - a then new rebuild of the older B-class which were the first mainline diesel-electric locomotives for the Victorian Railways. The rebuild program was cancelled in 1985 after the delivery of 11 rebuilt locomotives - these were then supplemented by the new N-class locomotives.
The V/Line orange and grey livery first appeared in 1983 with the replacement of the short-lived VicRail brand and its associated orange and silver 'teacup' livery which was introduced with the New Deal program in 1981, despite the VicRail brand being introduced in 1976 for the Victorian Railways.
From a VHS recording, February 1985.
I sadly never really got to travel on the once iconic orange livery of V/Line in the 1980's but I do remember it alot. It wasn't until 2017 that I got travel on them and they were so-so at best.
My dad worked for 15 years for V-Line down Dynon Road. The Trains are still holding up because of him.
Gday mate, howz it going? haven't seen you in chat for ages.

If you want the “Welcome aboard V/Line!” jingle it’s at 0:43
Great piece of rail history, these old commercials.
This was when V-Line was trying to update its image to attract more customers.
Look how thin we used to be
What's with the bath and shower references? I could be wrong, but I don't recall there ever being either on trains, and definitely not buses!
who thought making it rhyme would be a good idea?
