final tender for smartcard in melbourne...
Stabled at Macleod are three of the post Harris trains of Melbourne. From left - Comeng [1981 and still in service]; middle - X'trapolis [2002 and still in service]; right - Hitachi [1972-2014]. To round out the fleet, the Siemens Nexas also arrived in 2002. Note the Hitachi destination board reads "East Doncaster". Wishful thinking?

6-6-1987, departure awaits these trains to Port Melbourne and St Kilda, in a few months they will be no more, most young people of today I have spoken to don't even know that a train service went to these locations, sorely missed.
