The last
remaining BS type carriage in service with V/Line, BS217, ran its
last revenue services on Sunday 23rd July 2006.
N454+BS217+FN10 ran the 1753 down Albury pass., train no. 8321,
which terminated at Seymour, and the 1640 up Albury pass., 8332,
which originated at Seymour at 2010.
These
Albury services terminated at Seymour a/c works further along the
line.
BS217
was placed in the pass yard upon arrival back into Southern Cross,
and was transferred to Newport Workshops along with FN10 behind N459
on Thursday 27th July.
All five
of V/Line’s BS carriages are presently stored at Newport Workshops,
with their futures unknown; however, there is money allocated in the
state government’s $13 million refit of V/Line rollingstock and
sprinters for BS cars to receive power operated doors.
