I when to ride the 07:40 Swan Hill loco haul for the day when due to rolling stock shortage not train fault as stated on V/line app it was 3×1 Car VLocity!
The Local State Member for Warrnambool defended what has been a disastrous change to the rolling stock on the line stating their would not be a loss of seats, that turned out to be a blatant fib.
I was sampling the new working time table and after nice comfortable ride on 17:06 which was tabled as loco haul on VN19 I hoped off and met up with the 3 car Velocity.
On the Warrnambool line, these trains have been only three-carriages long due to the station platforms not being long enough for six-carriage services.
Was roused from a deep sleep by a phone conversation next from one the two guys that the one seat next to his work mate closer to aisle of the carriage.
