Avalon Airshow shuttles. 15/3/09
15th March 2009

Once again this year V/line provided many extra trains for the Avalon International Airshow, between Melbourne and Lara on the Geelong line. Rollingstock included push-pull N and P class, and six-car V/locity’s running as either 3X3 or 2X2X2. The weekend was very wet and overcast for most of the time!
