What does January 26th mean to me? The anniversary of the day the English arrived to start a prison in what we now call Sydney. As a Victorian, it doesn't resonate with me one bit.

The cull continues.

H4 and a Y (165 maybe?) have met the torch in North Geelong and are now no more.

Do QUBE have their own rail accessible terminal in SA?

When I travelled on The Overland from Adelaide this week, the way it was put by the staff on board was that there is a section of 1 carriage that is booked by V/Line and that those seats are then avai ...

[quote=bevans]The latest view of Bacchus Marsh Railway Station. Note the turntable still in place to the left which is good news. Would love to see the K's out there for a run to the Marsh at the ne ...

More driver training runs again today, with N452, N456, N472 and N473 all running solo return trips between Caroline Springs and Parwan Loop just like yesterday.
