I don't think those new DMUs would be able to solve the congestion
problem completely. Yesterday I was gunzeling around Broady and noticed
all the VLP service head north were full. Seymore/Craigieburn corridor
is one of the lower popular service. If this is a least popular service
then South Geelong/Sunbury service would need seats on the roof!

Tooradin area also may need a VLP service since new housing develop
around that area. If Mildura/Leogatha and Ararat services return then
that really don't leave VLP with much rolling stocks left.
