    Hi Mike,

    That 1954 Geelong Flyer you mentioned, was that hauled by one of the new diesel B Class that were running at the time?

    Duncan

    Yes.

    THANKS
    Would I be correct in assuming that the B on this train would have worked through to Port Fairy, please?

    Difficult to know without some first hand experience.

    Below is the 1954 timetable from Mark Bau's website for Geelong-Port Fairy.

    There was a 15 min stop at Geelong where loco's may have been changed, however as there was no refreshments on the train in those days, 15 mins would have also been to down a cup of scalding hot tea, a pie and a sticky bun.

    Mike.
