Yes the Down Flier departed Flinders St and terminated at Geelong . The afternoon Up Flyer actually originated at Camperdown for some years .And the Flyer went from Flinders Street too, didn't it?Can someone please explain what a "Flagship" service is and what makes it that? Is there only one up and down per day on each country service? I don't think I've heard of this on interstate services but I'm certainly prepared to stand corrected.The steam hauled Geelong Flyer did it in 52 minutes in 1937 reliably every day .
I always choose to learn something every day!!
