 . Anyways, I reckon this will help the regional train system but I have a question, should they make 4 car sets to ease congestion. I'll bring it up in a new post, if you want me to

Yes in Victoria. The current 2 car sets can be coupled together. Simple maths 2+2=4.
Negative Ghostrider, the pattern is full

Well, seriously, it's something worth thinking about. The VLocity design couldn't be used simply because it is diesel-hydraulic rather than diesel-electric drive.
However, if we find a way to swap these two over, then it'd simply be a case of having a pantograph on top instead of fitting the diesel-part of a Diesel-Electric system. (And maybe a huge transformer underneath.)
No idea how they'd look in the Connex livery though... 
(Mental image: stretched Siemens livery, blue instead of purple on sides, and yellow for doors instead of green)

Not quite as bad as I thought...
I could probably put up with that, actually.

Hang on...
More yellow means better visibility, which means we won't be peeling bits of truck driver skull off the front of the trains! 
Sorry if you were eating when you read that...
