If you want to take photos of Hatchi's there will always be one stabled at Macleod 7 days a week, except off-peak times when the same set will be at Epping. Right now 44M and family is at Macleod, and it will be there tomorrow as well.

Thanks Karl

Good shots this time, but I thought we have a photos forum?

What do "relly" and "cears" mean?

Whilst I admit I got up only 20 minutes before I left home, my lateness was not my fault for once.

My 888 bus arrived Springvale 5 or 6 mins late, and my planned 7 minute connection to my train to Pakenham was therefore missed.

Kind Regards

Sorry to correct you, but Connex has basically not followed it's Hitachi roster at all since it was due to start, and offpeak running is still common.

They have been seen running in service on every line since it was due to start, inculding Pakenham as is shown in the above pics.

Kind Regards

I thought you were coming back for the Melbourne Show?

There used to always be a Hitachie staying at the Dandenong depot. try there because the Pakenham line does not get them any more. But the Cranbourne line does sometimes

there i was being Eratik junior and fixed it up

Dear All

Just to prove Hitachis still run to Pakenham, Hitachi set 57M-1922T-184M-179M-1977T-129M (pictured above) were noted stabled there once again this evening!

Meanwhile, 197M-1981T-3M-110M-1910T-42M is stabled at Dandenong.

Kind Regards

Craig
