Looks lovely Andrew. So sad that vline are doing this to e-bike riders.

This is typical of the O'Keefe Rail Trail. It really is incredibly quiet and peaceful. Since this most likely is my last vline ebike tour there was some sadness. But I will find a way to return. #biketooter #ebike #vline

So I asked the girl at Geelong if the trespasser is cleared.

If it is, we could have gone through. If it hasn’t these trains will be blocked too.

“…I can’t tell you that..”

We’ve been fucked over… #vline

We’ve had a vote on the train, and we’ve decided to crash on through. Why the conductor couldn’t communicate this is another #vline mystery…

16:49 train is terminating one station early for……..no reason given…

“Oh, there’ll be another train along for you…”

How about doing your jobs, you ass clowns? #vline

As always on Vline I had to lift a passengers 25kg luggage to the shoulder height shelf. To make room for the bike. Following this performance I settled into the seats reserved for feeble old people 😎

I decided not to wait for my vline train back to Melb this evening and get on the NSW XPT three hours earlier.

The ticket is almost 6 x the price of vline. The seats are marginally more comfortable.

The woman in front of me stunk so badly that I stood in between our carriage and the next for 3 hrs

Welcome! (I'm admittedly a Vline train trip away but close enough!)

Off on a Vline ebike tour. I am expecting the ban to come in soon so might be the last.

Today's historic pic, Exactly 39 years ago today, broad gauge VLine train no 8256 from Warrnambool to Melbourne, hauled by double-ended streamlined diesel locos B61 & A81 approaches Laverton, Vic, November 8 1986. The standard gauge line to Adelaide was added at right in 1995.
B61 still runs today!

In 1995 a new standard gauge track was built to the right of this scene and it now carries interstate trains between Melbourne and Adelaide.

A new broad gauge line from Deer Park to Manor opened in 2015 meaning that nowadays VLine Geelong and Warrnambool trains travel via that route and no […]
