A LEGO version of V/Line’s own N-set train recently made its way to Southern Cross Station along with its creator, Conductor Kade Faulkner, to measure up alongside the real version. It took three months to design and build the train, with more than 2,600 LEGO bricks required.

@Asher_Wolf I saw a young couple (male/female) on a Metro train on my way home last night doing the same thing. When I'm not in uniform it's harder to get away with saying anything to them, without them telling me where to go. The whole shoes on seat thing is pretty unsavoury.
