Once a mainstay of the regional Victorian lines, H Set Carriages were used on their last revenue service on Feb 2nd 2024. The excess rolling stock has been shunted to regional locations for storage, only to be quickly destroyed.
V/Line H Sets – Trashed & Abandoned
Taxpayers recently upgraded and refurbished many of these sets. The damage from V/Line mismanagement shows just how poor their financial management is to allow these near new inside carriages to be damaged in such a way.
I can confirm that there is basically no glass left in the Echuca sets that are away from the station building. It’s a bloody disgrace.
