Drivers eye view, Flinders Street to Moorabbin, June 2024 

As a Glenhuntly resident sure appreciate the new Glen Huntly station and the station tramstop,watched a video recently from 1976 of the Nerrim Rd manaul crossing,the guy never was in a great hurry,at one stage,the gate swung back across the rail line and he nonchalantly wandered out to push it back,while a Hitachi train patiently waited,sure didn't make for fast train moves esp in peak times,50 years of changes

It's interesting seeing cab views after all the level crossings have been removed.

Notice all the sports balls around Ormond. On the down side are some tennis courts so lots of tennis balls on the track. I wonder if there is a regular ball collection patrol?

Can I ask another question when the tracks all go in different directions how does the driver know what track to take

I feel it's been a while since I've actually been on this line. The last time I actually rode a train through McKinnon, it still had its unique interlocking boom gates. I used to get to watch trains from upstairs in the Hoyts cinema at Centre Rd. Bentleigh where my dad was a projectionist.

Good one. I lived in Malvern in the 80's and Ormond in the 90's so a bit of a sentimental journey. Much has changed after Caulfield.

Love suburban drivers view. More please.

interesting that the first half of the video featured some quite un-victorian signals. I think the entire first half didn't feature any searchlight signals on the same track as this train, actually- I guess that the line must've had a signalling upgrade and they used it as a chance to test a new signal design as far as I know all new signals are back to being searchlights, so I guess that searchlights were preferred by the drivers and/or the railway safety people. I presume because they are more resistant to false aspects caused by reflected sunlight?

Interesting video. Just a quick question, does anyone know why all the connecting crossovers have been removed at Caulfield?

Looks like you've got a terminal case of the graffitis down there ?!

Now that I've seen much of the state, the time has come to see more of the city.🤠 Well... the bits above the concrete lined dives anyway.😁

Pumped for the 2nd half of the line since it'll be my neck of the woods (Chelsea)

Whats the perpose of 3 tracks form Caulfiel/ Glen Huntly onwards

The brakes of Siemens trains have always sounded somewhat eerily supernatural to me.

It’s so much better now coming into Glenhuntly

Have you started driving Metro Trains again?

Well this trainset is very fast. Nice video

0:22 on the left, that must be the Apex train?

What your metro driver now?

The Long Island Steel Train to Hastings runs on the Frankston Line and Stony Point Line.

Love to see more of these ! Great quality too

Is it very difficult to become a train driver how long does it take to be qualified

👍

👍👍👍

Does your Camera want a little ride Colin.?

Do we all get off now?? lol

Enjoyed the trip 👍, did you start driving for metro again?

Why did it only go to Moorabbin?
