The Langwarrin Station article mentions that part of the line was briefly closed in the early 1980's. I think that this should be included in this article.
I have updated each of the station pages with the new ticketing details starting as of tomorrow. Please don't remove them temporarily.

Locomative trains are still used on the Sunbury line, this is a metro train so Stony Point railway line was not the last metro line in Australia to use locos. —Preceding

@
Voorts thank you for beginning to review the article! I am available to complete this during the week so I'm ready for the feedback. If I get a bit busy (with school or something else) I'll let you know. Currently there are 3 articles ahead of you in the queue for me to act on their feedback. They should be quick however, so I'll make my way to this article relatively soon. Thank you for taking the time to review the article.

HoHo3143: My review is below. I'm on vacation tomorrow evening (EST), so if we can't finish it before then, are you okay waiting until 8/21 to complete this? Thanks,

Voorts its better if I finish the review whilst you're on holiday and then you add any extra feedback and approve it once your back. Hope you enjoy the break.

@
Voorts ok so I've finished acting on the feedback from the review. Apologies for some of the atrocious sourcing- someone else has gone and changed the original article adding in information that has shocking sourcing. The article should be ready to go once you return from your break.

Voorts whilst yes you are still on holiday, I just wanted to provide an update. Once you get back, this article is the main priority (for any additional things you need me to fix) as the article ahead of you in the queue has been finished and promoted.

One editor commented at RSN that they think
Vicsig is not an RS, but I disagree, so that cite is fine.
Y
Given that connexmelbourne.com.au is a dead link, can you find another source to replace it?
Y
This YouTube video is not an RS: one of the sources cited in the video description is this Wikipedia article.
its a good point, but the video was only to cite the fact that the doors are locked, which he demonstrated. Otherwise i couldn't find a better source. What should we do?
@
Voorts I've fixed three points and raised a question about one. Once that's complete it should be good to go.

@
HoHo3143: RE the bathroom door point: the doors being locked on one trip are not proof that they're locked on every trip. I'm not sure how important that fact is in the article anyways and would just remove it if this is truly the only source.

Voorts ive fixed the point about the bathrooms. Should be ready to go now.

The video is still cited as Ref 34. I don't think it's an RS for anything and should be removed. Is there another source that describes the route?

@
Voorts oops sorry. though id removed it. There's no source that does due to how under-utilised the line is. Not sure what else to put in. Otherwise should be good to go.

A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct:
Left one tag requesting clarification.
Additionally, this part seems like
TMI and is also not supported by the source cited: Alongside the passenger trains, Stony Point line tracks and equipment are maintained by a fleet of engineering trains. The three types of engineering trains are the shunting train; designed for moving trains along non-electrified corridors and for transporting other maintenance locomotives, for track evaluation; designed for evaluating track and its condition, and the infrastructure evaluation carriage designed for general infrastructure evaluation. Most of these trains are repurposed locomotives previously used by
V/Line, Metro Trains, and the
Southern Shorthaul Railroad.
Y it is supported but it requires some digging. there are other sources that back up my point but they are blogs
A. It contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with
the layout style guideline:
B.
Reliable sources are
cited inline. All content that
could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose):
A few {{cn}} tags left throughout. The table under "Operator" also requires citations for each entry. Additionally, I do not believe that the following sources are
reliable because they are
self-published sources without any indication of expert or some other form of reliability:
Ref 2 – Daniel Bowen
he is reliable as he is an expert
Ref 4 – V/LineCars.com
removed
Ref 15 – Gwiwer's Photos
removed
Ref 28 – Waking up in Geelong
replaced
Ref 35 – Time Out Melbourne
this isn't self published- so its a proper source
Ref 39 – Brimbank Models
removed
Ref 44 – vrhistory.com
replaced
I could not asses the reliability of Ref 17 – connexmelbourne.com.au.
Connex is the former operator- so they are accurate
Finally, I requested an opinion at
WP:RSN as to Vicsig.
