You've brought up an interesting question.  I did report here last Oct
that signallers at Totty "B", Brooklyn, Sunshine and Somerton had
their pay cheques issued by VLF (instead of Bayside Trains or
VicTrack).  So if FV has to go from Totty B to St Albans, it's their
signallers controlling the action.
