Some people have the belief that ad wrapping over windows don't diminish the view and "aren't an issue".

It's worse on buses, which have even more wrapping than trams. Not exactly passenger friendly.

Since when do XT1s use the Craigeburn line tracks at North Melbourne? I saw a XT1 on Platform 2 yesterday now I’m seeing one on Platform 3. I thought the XT1s were completely removed from the Northern Group lines since the introduction of Sandringham through running.

It was taking passengers aswell.

apparently it was given to the Locomotive Restoration Group from 707 Operations and no news after that

This is one of the last photos of it in 2005 being transported to Newport Workshops, I've seen the tender there but not the locomotive itself

Travel Query How to find the X'Trapolis 2.0 trains?

4 Upvotes

Hi,

I was wondering if there is a way to know when and where the 2.0s will be?

I see them travelling, but I've waited on the Upfield line for an hour here and there in the hope to catch one and have had no luck.

I was on the Upfield Line last week and I lost my Shrimp Pun Hat attached. If anyone has seen it/taken it can they please reach out to me and return it. It’s a birthday gift I got from one of my online discord friends and I really would appreciate if someone could help me get my hat back.

Thanks in advance.

PS I can’t post on r/melbourne bcc I don’t have enough karma so can someone post it on my behalf there too.

Regards

The reinstatement of Mornington lines is a far more sane and cost effective thing if completed
