Don't forget that the 4D used to run on the Belgrave line for it's first 
2 years od service.  I've seen it recently running empty between
Bayswater 
& Ringwood (usually around 2PM) - must have been getting serviced at the
Bayswater Maint. Centre....

Just as a matter of interest, wasn't the OFFICIAL name for Melb's 4D
supposed to be "Maroon" (or something similar)????
