Lilydale Line.

Usually.  If it it's not on it's usual roster, it'll be in one of the
following places:  Spencer St Lay By Sidings, Burnley Stabling Sidings,
Camberwell Sidings, or Bayswater Mainetance Centre.

It runs Monday to Friday only.
Check out

Must see??  ~Interesting~ Stuff includes:  Bayside Logos on about 50% of
Bayside's Comeng fleet, and 2 Hitachi motors.  112M (AC Traction motors)
is in service, with Bayside.  Flinders St Platfrom 6 & 7 is out of
service, most of ramp to the Swanston St concourse should be ripped up by
now.
