[melb] a few interesting observations

["Johann Fan" <jyf@optusnet.com.au>]

Hi all,

Spotted today :
* Z1.79 at Melbourne Central with destination "Hip Hip <scroll> Hooray"
Is this a standard destination programed in or is their some way for the
driver to put in their own customised destinations?

* New full page timetables displayed at MCE (pl 4) say
Hillside Trains brought to you by Connex

* Two Hillside hitachis coming very close together at Richmond at 15:50hrs
(one was at platform 8, other was at the signal immediately before pl 8)
How is that possible? I thought the signalling would only clear 2 behind the
previous train?

cheers
Johann
