yes, if people push PTV

probably the highlight of the day, not to mention the train thrashing going and returning from sunbury, you could smell the trains undercarriqe burning from the thrashing the driver gave which I found quite funny.
I think it was the brakes burning on the slow down between Sunbury and Water Gardens. On the day I think the train was travelling faster from Craigieburn first thing in the morning. That seemed very fast but the rest of the day we were close to other surburban trains up front. A good day travelling around apart from the taggers in Clifton Hill and Essendon.
2. How did it end up with carriages the wrong way around, considering there is no turntable on the network?
I remember a couple of years ago when catching the trains in morning and evening peak on Werribee Line, whenever I caught a Hitatchi it was always the same one, and it was distinctive.
It was Motor-Trailer, then motor, however this was facing the wrong way, the nose towards a passenger car, then a correct motor, then trailer-motor.
1. What train was this?
2. How did it end up with carriages the wrong way around, considering there is no turntable on the network?
3. Where is it now, and did they fix it?
it's cause the trip on the day was quite good, we were pretty much allowed to hang outside the windows, mind you I spoke to a member who said that they tested how far someone could stay outside the window and it was headlength, anything after that was too dangerous he wreckons which was pretty cool.
2. Any train from the suburbs that runs around the city loop ends up facing in the opposite direction when it heads back.
So trains (and their carriages) change direction several times a day. The only time a driver of a city loop train has to change to a cab at the other end of the train is at the suburban terminus.
