Hi,

I think that there are currently 6 refurbished trains (six cars each) in
operation.  On Friday I was on the 9.42 train from Lilydale to City and also
noted the increased number of refurbished trains.  Unusually one was in the
sidings at Lilydale.  Perhaps it was defective???  Another was stabled at
Camberwell.
