The MTH cars were all in Melbourne being fitted with ticket machines. The
only suitable replacement was an SH set, and as a result needed a loco
with head end power.

Many of you will remember the big show a bit ofer 2 years ago when
Frankston - Stony Point officially became a V/Line service rather than The
Met. It has very recently and very quietly been handed over to Bayside
Trains, although still operated by V/Line Passenger rollingstock.
