The set at Wendouree was coupled to an older Vlocity so cyclists could use that one or used the larger disabled space in the new one.Currently most services are run coupled with another 'old' layout set, except a few in the interpeak when most services are split to run as 3 cars.
VL80 onwards are supposedly are the Long Distance variant of the VLocity units. Rumour is first deployed onto Bairnsdale then the Shepparton, Warrnambool. They are currently three cars long as shown in the pictures but apparently they feature a buffet onboard and will have five cars in the future.
I've never considered V'Locity's to be 'country trains', because I've travelled extensively on VR country trains over a few decades.
Ballarat, Geelong, Bendigo et al are served by what I consider to be Interurban trains.
Mike.The interurban concept in well understood in NSW. V/Line seems to struggle with this, and maybe having to perform suburban services as well, is an added distraction they don't need
When was the name of the city changed from Melbourne to MELBOURNE?Hey SPUD maybe you should change your name to FOOTINMOUTH..........................
