Abrupt change of trains as V/Line finds the train examiner is MIA!

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

It took post on X for the media to catch up on the new Travelling advice for Bendigo Line why?

What mess Free Travel & lots of people were travelling & very warm at Bendigo!

I felt the train jerking, back and forth it on whist rolling along and was bought to stand still shorty after.

These events that led me to being concerned of a potential collapse of the train regional service to Swan Hill if ignored too long.

Swan Hill Line had sudden rolling stock change at short notice.

Usual reason was train fault, as it was confirmed via various source at Southern Cross.

Now in writing V/Line top management is making changes to rolling stock to the commuter urban rail units.

From Loco faults on Tuesday and Track Point Failure the day after.Has V/line hit critical mass?

It seem like a major cost cutting measures being carried out by managment on Swan Hill and Albury.
