V/Line already stop at plenty of stations where the platforms are shorter than the train. Shouldn't selective door opening be getting implemented regardless of 9 carriage trains? Some stations can't even handle a 3 car vlocity let alone 9 car.I have it on good authority that 9 car VLocity's will not be occurring without expensive significant electrical upgrades as the maximum permitted length of the train as recommended by manufacturer Bombardier is EIGHT cars.
