Sounds like Metcard.
Anyway, what I mean by remote control for signalling, is back in the days
of Vicrail they made a plan to make metrol. And a few outer surban places
control the whole surban system. (Ringwood, Frankston, Newport and one
other ?? )
The automatic ticketing machines were removed about mid last year once they
started to put in the currnt automatic ticket machince (which are now
due for replacement, for the same reason as the trams need ramps.)
