This morning, the first example of our newest type of suburban train - the X'trapolis 2.0 - was transferred from Ballarat North Workshops to Newport Workshops, from where it will begin testing on the network in coming weeks. X2polis set No.1 was hauled by Southern Shorthaul Railroad diesels T386 and P12, with power van BVDY51 providing power for the EMU's electronic brakes. It was a nice surprise having this transfer running in daylight, and via Bacchus Marsh - I took these pictures on the Sunshine-Newport goods line approaching Spotswood, but if you want to see some much more extensive coverage, go and watch @PannierProductions9600's video of the transfer, which he chased all the way from Ballarat: https://youtu.be/HqMC1Smp1dU?si=6rZNv...
