Is A81 going to Waurn Ponds with the cement wagons?

[MickFix]

@kutless22974 I'd dare say it was heading back to Geelong from where I'm not sure...

Great video

[MickFix]

@tyeone12 Thanks for the comment!

[PoathTrains]

I'd say it's a 50/50 split between Tuesdays and Thursdays being the best day. Thursday you can score the up and down SCT's in daylight.

[MickFix]

@PoathTrains I took your advice Michael, and instead of going on a Tuesday went on a Thursday and the SCT didn't run! Oh well, luck of the draw!
