On Monday 3rd April
2006, SH sets SH28 and SH34 were withdrawn from service and
transferred to Newport Workshops behind N455+P18 for set makeup
alterations to occur. This was due to patronage increases on
interurban peak services. Between
Monday and Wednesday, the two sets were split, with BIH194 being
removed from the middle of SH34, and being placed in between
carriages BH148 and BCH128 of SH28. BCH128's 'SH28' decals were then
replaced with new 'FSH28' decals. FSH28
was sent back to Spencer Street behind N459 during the early
afternoon of Wednesday 5th April.
The remaining two carriages of SH34, BCH134 &
BTH174, are presently stored at Newport Workshops, pending a
decision on their futures. For the
record:-
- The last service SH28 ran in its three
car form was 8006 - the 0710 up Sunbury, on Monday 3rd
April as part of a Push/Pull set with SH31, hauled by P13

- The last service SH34 ran as a set was
