City 10/2/10 N470 departs Southern Cross with VLH32.  BCH132 of VLH32. This car is one of the Prototype 75ft long harris cars. For a comparision the normal sized car is in the background.  A Northern Comengs trundles along the Goods line while the 9461 awaits the Stick.  W6.992 heads up the bridge.  With a 2 Siemens trains a week being changed sights like this will become a thing of the past. Trailing a Connex liveried Siemens 783M Shows off the Metro livery.  N452 smokes it up at Southern Cross.  VLocity 03 and another 2 car VL arrive.  In the past few weeks KDR has put the foot down a bit on re livering trams. Here B2.2009 is in Yarra Trams MK4 livery.  N464. A Metro Siemens and Comeng. Of note in the last month Metro have re activated the sidings at SSS to stable trains.  Looking down at A62.  In the Bourke Street Mall D2.5014 and C.3024 run route 96 trams. Of note is the C on the 96. Something that does not happen often. Mostly because The 96 is a Southbank run and the Cs live at Kew.  Also in the Mall is D2.5006 in what is apprantly MK4. It's not really much different to MK3. Just the removal of Melbourne/Cafes/Melbourne/Shopping and the addition of Yellow doors and new logos.

City 23/5/10   SW6.866's PID was being rather stupid displaying some strange things.  SW6.866 heads off to Docklands.  VLocity 1213 and Sprinter 7004.  N458 and P12 head off to the wash.  Sitting around waiting for Monday morning is P11. The first P plass in the New V/Line livery. Which compaired to the A has come up well.  P12 powers up to head to the Wash.  SW6.856 runs over the Latrobe St Bridge on a outer circle.  SW6.926 runs the other way.  VLocity units 32 and 12 race into Southern Cross.  PCJ492 gets shunted around.  P12 and N458 come out of the wash.  P12 and Y161.  P12 revs it up to go park. N457 runs off to the yard.  At North Melbourne Metro Liveried Northern Comeng 346M trails a Sydnenham(Watergardens) service. It includes new Blue and Yellow Stickers. New side Stickers and Door stickers on the outer doors which only go half way down. But the grey surrounds were not redone.  An Flinders St Bound service loads Footy pax at Box Hill.  959M trails out.  For some reason Sunday was the day the PIDS decided not be be co-operative. Here it displays a non existant 12:56 Direct Flinders Street service. According to the PIDS the next service is exactly 60 seconds later. It wasn't the only place they were playing up. At the loop stations Epping trains were apprantly not running from Macleod or Heidelberg to Epping.........  An entirely 60 seconds later on the 12:57 Footy Special is a very very very very very rare sight. Hitachi 295M-1994T-296M - 281M-1946T-282M. Not bad for a train that is only allowed to be used during the peaks.  Inside 282M. It's a bit of a mismatch of the Met refurb and the Connex refurb.  Looking towards the number 1 door.  The first section of D2.5009.  P11. The Following are trams going up Swanston St.  Z1.94  D1.3525  Z3.183  A2.288. Of note this tram has been fitted with A/C pods for the driver.  B2.2078  Z3.208 and Z1.22
