I have been at Belgrave (outer Melbourne) when they were switching from 6
car to 3 car operation for the night. The train was still connected when I
got on but the rear three cars were locked up. When we moved off, there was
a rush of air and when I next looked we only had 3 cars. This train split as
the train moved off, is this against the rules and regulations?
