Brighton Beach - Works Completed

20th October 2006

Some shots of the completed service facility at Brighton Beach Station; supposedly built for the purposes of installing VICERS (vigilance) equipment to the Melbourne Electrified fleet.

The high grey towers allow access to the roof area of the train, whilst the two raised sidings allow simultaneous under-train access. The facility has enough room to work on two six-car trains at any one time.

Note that the platform 1 road is now out of service, and partly paved over - but this can be reversed at a future time with some quick removal of ashphalt and dismantling of the towers.

Shots feature a six car X'Trapolois train stabled in 3 road - one of the few times (if not the only time) that an X'Trap has run on the Sandringham line.
