Return of the Bendigo Hitachis

After their withdrawal from suburban service in Melbourne, four 3-car Hitachi sets were stored unsecured in the open at the Bendigo North Workshops. In 2006 stripped of parts, and with broken windows and covered with graffiti, they were moved back to Melbourne by El Zorro using Y145 and S302 in the middle of the night of August 30th. Here they are upon arrival the next morning at Newport Workshops.
