The Stony Point Line Runs From Frankston (54Km south of Melbourne) further South to Stony Point.
The line is electrified form Melbourne to Frankston then passengers change trains at Frankston for the Diesel hauled service shown in my first post. the service runs 6 times a day in both directions with the exception of friday when 7 trains are run. the round trip takes 2 hours using an A class (built in the early 60's) and 2-3 converted ex-suburban electric carriages.
also wedged in between are 2 Steel freight trains a day. the line is only stafed be the train crew and staff at Frankston Station. (this the only suburban line (without country extensions) to be Diesel hauled fully in Victoria.
Hope this helps under stand what I mean about unique.
