    Continuing this OT discussion fares do seem very low for what I think is a great service. Have not used Vic PT for over 30 years, but just used first service from Watergardens then first service  to Traralgon. Cost was $18 concession, insanely low I think. Standard of service was excellent although Finders St at 0530 is a challenge. Cold and windswept with only one coffee shop open and a couple of sad aluminium tables to perch at and drink coffee.

    It seems a VLine 'Station Assistant' resides on Plat 7 to set off the VLP Traralgon bound sets. Unsure this could not be done by metro for a fee.

    Great trip on Vlocity . 6 mins late at Drouin, just one min late into Traralgon after what seemed like some fairly hard driving. Who said VLine drivers are ambivalent about on time running.
