V/Line Trains Over Robinsons Road, Deer Park - Regional Trains

Alright, time for another video!
Today we take a look at the recent advancements on works at Robinsons Road Level Crossing, one of 75 level crossings being removed by the Victorian Government.
Located in Deer Park, the crossings has the Regional Fast Rail running though it. With the increasing frequency, the traffic bottleneck is rather atrocious at all three crossings in the area.
I hadn't intended to upload the video so soon, however there were some issues with getting the video planned for this week ready. Hopefully everything will be back on schedule next week, assuming I can sort out my hard-drive issues.
Thanks again, catch you all again soon!

Trains Around Melbourne #14 Now Online

 Welcome back, our final extra video for the season has now been published, or at least around an hour ago. We have our 14th installment of Trains Around Melbourne.

Anyways, a little bit of an update, if anyone had seen the post from the community tab on YouTube, we have pending scheduling changes which are planned for the near future, more information to be posted closer to the day.

With the suddenness of the current lockdown, next weeks video will have to be pushed back, as we assess the available videos in the backlog, and prepare them for future use. The original plan was to be partly dependent on new content over the next weeks, but the situation is fully known anymore. So, till next time, stay safe, catch you all on the other side.
