Soon to retire
Started work today at 5.17pm.
There wasn't actually much for me to do in today's shift, but it ended with taking a train back to the Flemington Maintenance Centre to stable it.
It could be one of the last times I drive one of these old V Set trains. They've been working the network for over 40 years, and are being replaced by the new D Sets / Marrying trains. In the last few months, sad little shitbags have decided that they want to trash and vandalise these trains, and they throw seats out of the train (where possible), but also kick the windows out of the passenger doors... which means the carriage has to be emptied, locked off, and the train delayed. And that's been happening on almost every run.
So they've brought forward the last service day of these trains to Friday the 30th of January. And as I have a few days off coming up, it could be possible that this is the last time I ever drive one.
So grabbed a photo of the one I drove in to Flemington.
They keep on ticking along...
