A reoccuring issue with Swan Hill Service was it planned or not?

There is pressing issues of “Fleet Availability” that need conveyed by public transport advocates.

It seems to look like the DOT’s & V/Line’s one size fit all operation concept for the metro urban rail cars.

Riding up and down the mainline noticed the points removed for other operators to use a those line are now limited for Metro Tunnel Services.

All train services of V/Line delayed until father notice Telstra is down and train radio lost communication.

Trend emerges & climax is V/Line CEO is seen at 5A. It seem strange 15 min before boarding most the checks were completed Loco Haul cancelled.

A disabled V/Line Service on the mainline at Sunbury Stn after I saw a red signal ahead of the loco N460.

PA advises Swan Hill 07:38 Service is delayed 35 mins due to some technical issue

Tues was a dog’s breakfast,VN14 led by N458 was uneventful, but was heavily loaded on the return.

I am seeing unfold is the results of the failure of the V/Line’s and DOT poor policy of a “One Size Fits All” train design policy.

It was disjointed as not only the train comm issue was with crew and driver but it seem the PA on board the train was impacted too!
