REPORT OF THE VICTORIAN RAILWAYS COMMISSIONERS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30TH JUNE, 1956.

VICTORIAN RAILWAYS, Commissioners' Office, Spencer-street, }1elbourne, C. 1. iJOth October. 1956. To the Honorable the Jifinistm· of Transport. Sm, In conformity with the provisions of Section 99 of the RailU'ays Act 1928 (No. 3759) we have the honour to submit our Heport for the year ended 30th June, 1956. The results of working the railway;.;, electric tramways and road motor services under our control were as follows :- · £ s. d. REVENUE 37,182,292 10 1 WORKING EXPENSES 38,268,206 7 5 DEFICIT ON CURRENT OPERATIONS 1,085,913 17 4 £ s. d.

TOTAL INTEREST, EXCHANGE, ETC. 3,184,765 13 7

DEFICIT 4,270,679 10 11

The total revenue was £2,795,027 less than in the record year of 1954-55. The discontinuance from 30th June, 1955, of the recoup by the Treasury to limit the cost of interest and other debt charges to 1 per cent. of the railway loan liability accounted for £2,148,060 of the decrease. The balance of £646,967 was due to a decline of £1,853,201 in revenue from goods, particularly wheat, live stock and other items, which was largely offset by increased revenue from suburban passengers, mails and other sources. Had the interest recoup been continued for the year under review, the revenue would have been credited with an additional amount of £2,518,000, which would have reduced the deficit accordingly. The gross increase in working expenses of £2,237,000 compared with the previous year, comprised £1,488,000 representing higher costs beyond our control, such as increased wages under awards, cost of living adjustments and payroll tax ; £413,000 for long service leave and superannuation payments, and £336,000 for sundry other items. This increase. however, was considerably offset by operating savings made possible by the use of modern rolling stock and equipment (£773,000) and other savings (£462,000), leaving a net increase of £1,002,000. With a staff of nearly 30,000, wageti costs account for approximately 67 per cent. of the total ·working expenses. and obviously any increase in wage rates involves a substantial rise in expenditure. For instance, cost of living adjustments, paid by direction of the Government. represent additional costs of about £83,000 per annum for each Is. per 'Week increase. The cumulative effect of these increases which were made during the year under revie\Y involved extra expenditure totalling £810,000. More detailed information on finanee is given in t,he section heaf1ed " Financial Review". To the extent of the deficit, rail users obtained transport at less than cost. The incurring of deficits engendered by factors beyond managerial control, however, cannot be attributed to inefficiency of operation or maladrninistration. as is so often asserted by uninformed critics. 6

The raihvays were constructed to develop the State in the interests of the community as a whole, and many lines were built although there was no likelihood of their paying, or the prospect of their doing so was remote. Traffic conveyed on these lines is insufficient to make them a payable proposition and the inevitable losses involved cannot always be offset by the better results obtained on other lines of adequate traffic density.

The indirect benefits obtained by the community from railway operation, particular!~· in the sphere of primary production, where the railways are the only feasible means of handling the bulk traffic involved, cannot be measured in direct financial terms and are all too frequently overlooked when the value of the railways and their financial results arc being assessed. Another feature of railway operations in this State not generally known is the extent of the freight concessions granted to country industries for raw materials on the " down" journey and on manufactured products on the " up" journey. These concessions range from reductions of 26 per cent. to 66 per cent. on tariff rates for raw materials despatched to the country, and from 15 per cent. to 68 per cent. for products, including canned and driedfruits, forwarded to Melbourne for local use or for export, and it is estimated that they involve a direct subsidy to the industries concerned of upwards of £1.000,000 per annum. The object of these concessions ha;:; been to foster decentralization of industry throughout the State, which has been Government policy for many years, but the Commissioners are strongly of opinion that this method of subsidization is wrong in principle. They feel that any country industry requiring lower freights to enable it to compete with industries located in the metropolitan area or in overseas markets should be assisted out of the Decentralization Fund after inquiry by the Joint Committee on l<"'reight Subsidies for Decentralized Industries which has been specially set up for the purpose. This is already being done in respect of a number of country industries and, if applied to all the industries concerned,· would result in (i) the railways receiving full tariff rates for all traffic carried ; (ii) no subsidies being paid unless found to be justified after full inquiry, and (iii) the payment of subsidies being subject to periodical review. The Commissioners fully appreciate and favour the policy of establishing industries in the country, but consider that a subsidy scheme should be adopted that will put an end to the present serious distortion of railway accounts. Goods traffic (excluding live stock) in 1955·-f)6 deelined by 380,482 tons (4 per cent.), compared with the previous year, while goods ton mileage-the measure of work performed-decreased by 6·7 per cenL due mainly to the shorter average distance wheat was hauled. A decrease of 375,489 tons in the volume of wheat hauled accounted for the decline in the total tonnage of goods carried. This was due to the {act that, in 1954-55, the quantity of wheat handled was abnormal owing to the decline in export traffic in the previous year. As a result, a large tonnage of wheat remaining in the country storages had to be cleared to make way for the new season's harvest. Considerable interstate traffic was lost to road hauliers who continued to operate without restriction~particularly between capital cities-following upon the Privy Council decision in the Hughes and Vale case referred to last year. Intrastate traffic is also being carried by road in large volume to and from Victorian border towns under the guise of interstate traffic. Substantial reductions in rates and intensive canvassing for interstate traffic resulted in the retention to rail of much existing business and in many cases attracted new business. There is no question. however, that a large tonnage of goods is regularly moving interstate by hauliers who do not pay licence or permit fees : who do not operate to fixed schedules : whose disregard of working conditions and other regulations is well known, and who have none of the obligations of common carriers, thus enabling them to select the most suitable a,nd remunerative traffic. Moreover, the cost of maintaining the highways used by these hauliers is borne largely by other road users. In this connexion, suggestions have been made, and no doubt will continue to be made, by vested road interests, that a " superhighway" capable of withstanding use b;r heavy road vehicles should be constrneted between the capita] cities. 7

The fact should not be overlooked, however, that special highways-the railways-already exist which are capable of carrying speedily and efficiently, all the traffic offering. Duplication of such facilities at enormous cost, merely to enable selected traffic to be handled by an alternative means of transport, can only he regarded as wasteful and unnecessary. Increased traffic, compared with 1954-55. was handled in coal. coke and briquettes. The tQtal of 2.642,358 tons exceeded by 44.4!16 tons the record established in that year. A further record was set with the carriage of MUm6 tons of brown eoal and briquettes from Y allourn in one week. The quantity of superphosphate carried, viz., 52~3,991 tons, was 45,244 tons less than in 1954-55, although the amount carried between July and December, 1!155, was 2n,491 tons greater. Ample rail capacity is normally available during that period and it is gratifying that favorable results were achieved by our efforts, in conjunction with the superphosphate companies and other interested bodies. to encourage the practice of taking early delivery of superphosphate requirements. A disturbing feature of the superphm;phate movement overalL however, was the large quantity conveyed by' road. This totalled 190,000 tons, of which 112,000 tons were carried during March, ApriL and )lay. The ~whole of this traffic eoukl have been handled satisfactorily by rail. Live stock traffie amounted to 479,570 tons. This was 94.94!1 tons le::;s than in the previous year due mainly to good seasonal conditions which enabled stoek to be retained on properties. This was particularly noticeable in the case of sheep, due in some measure to the fact that the price of wool remained at an attractively high level. There was also an increase in the volume of live stock moved by road transport. Country passenger traffic was 662.30·5 journeys less than in 1954-55. In the first quarter of the year under revimv, the number of passenger journeys was greater than in the same period in the preceding financial year, but the increases in fares made in November. 1!155, were reflected in subsequent months by a falling off in traffic. Suburban passenger journeys whieh totalled 161J24,048 -1,8:32,974 less than in 1954--55-~were also adversely affected by the higher fares introduced in l'\ovemher last year.

A new type suburban electric train 8

With the continued development of the outer Huburban areaH, the length of the average suburban journey increased from 8 · 45 miles to 8 ·56 miles. The growth in the population of the more distant suburbs has imposed rail travel demands. particularly on the Box Hill and Caulfield groups of lines, which have been difficult to meet with existing facilities. As mentioned subsequently, however, plans are in course to provide faster and better services for the longer distance suburban traveller.

The number and range of improvements made to mihmy property and equipment during the year were probably the greatest since ·' Operation Phoenix "-the plan for the rehabilitation of the railways---was begun and, although expenditure has been less than we would have liked, the Victorian Railways are no\V in a better physical condition to give a higher standard of service than at any previous time.

The reduced amount of Loan Funds made available for the year under review caused some urgent works to be deferred and others to be carried out at a slower tempo. thereby retarding the progress of rehabilitation and postponing the introduction of a number of further improvements.

Xevertheless, much has been accomplished. One of the most outstanding of the changes made under the rehabilitation programme is the increasing application of diesel-electric motive power which, at the close of the comprised 26 main-line locomotives of L500 h.p., ten 900 h.p. branch-line units, and 13 shunters. A further 17 branch-line locomotives are in the course of deliveiT and tenders wrre received for the supply of 10 main-line units of 1:750 h.p. ·

With the completion of the electrification, and a large portion of the regrading and duplication, of the Gippsland line. electric haulage of trains between Melbourne and Traralgon was instituted. thereby enabling the introduction of faster passenger and goods train sr.hed11J0s; ?: daylight' train comprising modern rl1!rl3 waR int;rorluced between

Yielbourne and Sydney; additional new steel air-conditioned cars of " Spirit of Progress'' type were put into service on country lines, and restaurant cars were placed in running on the Horsham and Warrnambool lines.

On the suburban system, three of the 30 new type suburban trains on order were placed in service ; duplication of the Eastmalvern line, and vwrks at Richmond in connexion with the provision of additional tracks between South Y arra and 'Flinders-street, were well in hand ; short, duplicated sections of track on the Upper Ferntree Gully, Lilydale, and Glen Waverley lines to facilitate train crossing were under construction: track capacity between Melbourne and South Yarra was increased by improved signalling. while similar work was in hand on the Box Hill line.

All of these major works are designed to meet changing travel demands and provide better and more attractive service. Concurrently, normal routine expansion and maintenance of railway facilities were proceeding.

Substantial benefits have resulted from the rehabilitation carried out so far, the marked increase in operating efficiency being shown in the following diagram

During the preparation of thiH Heport. \Ye were infornwrl tlmt the amount of Loan Funds to be made available for the current year waR £:),~)00.000 less than required, and £600,000 less than in the year under review. This will further retard the programme of railway development, but as much progress as possible will be maintained with the more urgent and important works in order to improve facilities progressin~ly with a ,·iew to meeting the b'l'owing demand::; of the State's development. 10 Financial Review. Operations for the year resulted in a deficit of £4,270,680-an increase of £4,129,121 compared with 1954-55. However, in that year, the Treasury recouped to the Department an amount of £2,148,060 to limit the cost of interest and other debt charges to 1 per cent. of the loan liability. In 1955-56 no such recoup was made. Allowing for that factor, the retrogression in the year under review amounted to £1,981,061, which was brought about as follows :- · £ Revenue (excluding interest recoup) decreased bv 646,967 Working Expenses increased b)r 1,002,434 Interest. etc., charges .. increased by 3~-H,660

Net Decrease 646,967

A::-; shown above, the revenue of 1H54-55 ineluded an amount of £23,200 as a recoup from the Treasury in respect of the May, 1955, cost-of-living adjustment. This recoup was not paid and the item was written back during the current year. The higher revenue received from par:;sengers, parcels, and rentals \vas the result of increased rates which became operative from November last, while the extra return from mails followed a new agreement \Vith the Postmaster-General's Department, and included an amount of £81,000 in respect of a retrospeetive adjustment of rates. In like manner the additional revenue from refreshment services resulted largely from higher prices which came into operation along with the other general rates increases abovementioned. The whole of the increase in tJw passenger revenue came from the suburban area- - the gains derived from the increased fares from count.ry passen~ers hein~ more than offset, hy a reduction in the number of eountry journeys. Overriding the sum of all increases was the decreased revenue from goods traffic (£L557.018). As explained elsewhere, a reduced volume of wheat (11 million bushels) was carried, the resultant loss of revenue being approximately £750,000. 11

'The balance of the decrease (approximately £800,000) reflected the decline in the general goods traffic and can be attributed in the main to the activities of road operators, despite factors such as the conceding of new rates and a concentrated drive for new business by the Department ; increases in the cost of petrol : higher sales tax on new motor vehicles, and the imposition of a road tax. 'The decrease of £225,327 in the live stock trafile occurred steadily over the whole of the year and was due partly to a lower movement of stock generally and partly to the increased use of road transport. The total working expenses were £38,268,206--an increase of £1,002,434 on the previous year. The expenditure under the various branches and major sections fluctuated as under Tncreases- - £ £ Traffic Branch 530,342 Commercial Branch 16,318 Stores Branch .. 217,084 Refreshment and Advertising Services 78,851 General Expenses 41,369 Long Service Leave 50,172 Railway Accident and Fire Insurance Fund 30,674 f~lectric Tramways 5,749 .

Net Increase 1,002,000

The incrttased expenditure orought about by variations in wages amounted to 5 · 4 per cent. of the previous year's wages hill. Last year it. was :3 · 1 per cent. 12

In every year from and including 1949-50 to the end of 1954-55, the Treasury credited the railway income with an amount necessary to limit the cost of interest and other debt charges to an amount not exceeding 1 per cent. of the railway loan liability. The year under review was the first year to suffer the withdrawal of that recoup--the effect upon the income being approximately £2,500,000.

This recoup was made by the Government following upon the recommendation of )h. (now Sir) .John Elliot who investigated the affairs of the Department and submitted a comprehensive report to the Government in 1949. In this Report he drew attention to the seriously run-down condition of the property and equipment (particularly the rolling stock) as a result of the years of round-the-clock working for the war effort. He suggested that the only feasible method of rehabilitation was a long range (10 year) plan for spending not less than £80 millions partly on replacements and renewals and partly on new capital investment-the former to be interest free and the latter to carry a rate of no more than l per cent. To implement this proposal, the Government immediately made available :mbstantial interest-free loans to supplement the inadequate Railway Henewals and Replacements Fund and, at the same time, reduced the rate on all loan liability, past, present and future, to 1 per cent. The result so far has been the bringing to fruition of a large part of the long-range Operation Phoenix plan.

The full calculated depreciation for the year 1955-56 amounted to £2,006,718 but the contribution to the Railway Renewals and Replacements Fund has agai_n been limited to the statutory minimum contribution of £200,000. This emphasizes the need for the continuance of interest free loans for replacements and rehabilitation, if another state of serious over-capitali:mtion is to be avoided.

Capital Expenditure. The amount allotted by the Treasury for capital expenditure for the year was £8,000,000 and the amount actually expended was as follows :-- £ Additions and improvements to \Vay and \Vorks 2,554,312 Rol1ing Stock, Equipment, Machinery and other works 241,362 Construction of new lines, etc. . . 7,137 Replacement (Rehabilitation) works 5,063,839

Expenditure against 1955-56 allotment 7,866,650

Non-Paying Branch Lines. In recent years, the operation of certain non-paying branch lines has been investigated by the Joint Transport Hesearch Committee with a view to determining whether the traffic in the areas served could be handled more economically and more efficiently by road transport. On completion of the Committee's inquiries, approval was given for a number of such lines to be closed. Legislative authority was obtained in Hl55 for these lines, and certain others which had been closed previously, to be dismantled and the land disposed of viz :-­ Beechworth--Yackandandah Bittern-Red Hill Irrewarra- -·-~ ewtown Maffra·- Briagolong ~ ewlyn--Daylesford Wangaratta--Whitfield Yarram-- Woodside Ben Nevis~-Navarre Colac--Alvie Korumburra---,J umbunna Moe--Walhalla Port Fairy-Port Fairy Wharf Portland-Old Portland Pier Redesdale Junction--Redesdale \Veeaproinah-CroweH li1

For many years, the rail motor service on the Fawkner-Somerton line operated at a considerable loss. Only a relatively small number of people 'vere Rerved hy the line and traffic was, therefore, light.

The rail motor which provided the service required replacement because of its condition, and an expenditure of over £15,000 would have been necessary within five years on track maintenance. This expenditure and continued operation at a loss were not justified and the line was closed on 5th May, 1956.

Alternative passenger transport was provided by the institution of a privately operated bus service between the area and Coburg and by stopping at Aomerton certain trains on the main Albury line.

Fares and Freights. To bring fares more into accord with the cost of providing serviCe, the following increases were made from 1st November. 1955 :--- Cmmtry- Single fares Increased by 7~ per cent. Return fares Increased from single fare plus :33i per cent. to single fare plus 50 per cent. Suburban­ Competitive area Increased by amounts similar to those applied to tramway fares.

Non-competitive area .. l-9 miles 33t 9±--15 miles 25 Beyond 15 miles 20 These increases were estimated to produce £1.405,000 additional revenue for the remaining eight months, but immediately fares were increased it became apparent that there was substantially more "customer resistance .. to the higher rates than had been experienced after previous increast>s.

In the case of country passenger traffic the overall increase in fares was of the order of 15 per cent. but the actual revenue from this traffic did not quite equal that of the previous year. The increase in suburban fares amounted to approximately 25 per cent. but for several months the actual increase in revenue was only about 15 per cent. Towards the end of the year. however. the ground lost was being slowly regained.

Competition. During the year, there was a progressive intensification of roarl competition arisirw from uncontrolled interstate traffic---reference to which was made in last year's Report~ and the position has been aggravated by the introduction of road passenger and goods services between Melbourne and locations immediately beyond the Victorian border which are closely adjacent to large Victorian towns, such as Mildura, Swan HilL Echuca, etc. These services are catering for intrastate traffic under the guise of an interstate movement. This is merely a subterfuge as the traffic, after being taken over the border. IS immediately returned in other vehicles to destinations in Victoria. ·

Although improved rail services and facilities, combined with reductions in freights and fares,. have stemmed, to .some exten~, the d~versi.on of ~raffic to road transport a substantial volume of former mterstate ra1l traffic 1s bemg earned by road. This loss of revenue and that from the reduced rail charges on existing traffic, are reflected in the deficit on the year's operations. Direct long distance competition between the railways and road transport is wasteful and an extravagance which the State cannot afford. · l4

Two new Acts, viz., the Transport Regulation Act 1955 and the Cmnmercial Goods Vehicles Act l!J55, have replaced the original Transport Regulation Act 1933, and its amendments. The new legislation re-establishes the Transport Regulation Board and generally retains the previous system of control and regulation by licence, except that the Board now has no control over intrastate air services. Passenger licences may now be granted for periods from four to seven years, and the Transport Regulation Board has been given authority to cancel or alter the conditions of a current passenger licence provided compensation is paid to the holder of the licence for any consequent loss. \Ye have consistently expressed the view that road hauliers should be required to make an equitable contribution towards the cost of maintaining roads. The Commercial Goods Vehicles Act 1955 provides for the payment of a road maintenance fee only in the case of vehicles exceeding four tons capacity, and exempts those carrying live stock and specified perishable commodities. The fee is assessed on the basis of payment of one-third of a penny per ton on the sum of the tare weight of the vehiele and forty per cent. of its load capacity, for all mileage run in Victoria. This fee we regard as completely inadequate if it is intended to repreHent a reaHonable eontribution t.mvards wear and tear of roads hy commercial vehieles. It is regretted that the new legislation retains the former "as of right '' ability to carry perishable goods and live stock throughout the State. We have constantly urged that the movement of this traffic should be brought within the discretionary powers of the Transport Regulation Board and only authorised where it is clear that existing transport facilities are unable to handle the business satisfactorily. In April, the Melbourne and Metropolitan Tramways Board introduced a through omnibus service between the Heidelberg area and the centre of the City of Melbourne. We strongly objected to this new service on the grounds that existing railway and privately-owned feeder bus services were adequately serving the area. The operation of the new bus serviee will Pntail an 0stimated annual loRR of approximately £21,000 m railway revemtP. We ·wish to direct attention to the urgent need for ensuring that operators of commercial road transport vehicles comply with the provisions of the Motor Car Act, particularly in respect of speeds, weight of loads and hours of driving. \Ve feel that stricter policing of these provisions would not only ensure a greater measure of safety .on roads, but also minimize irregular road movements, which are adverl'lely affecting railway finance. ·

Commercial Activities. As previously mentioned, intense competition from interstate road operators continued and, in order to retain goods traffic, further reductionl'l were made in the bulk truckload rates granted to forwarding agents for traffic handled on a door-to-door basis between Melbourne and Sydney and Brisbane. Reductions were also made in the rates applicable to traffic fonvarded in container;;; between }felhourne and Rvdney and Melbourne and Brisbane. ' , Road hauliers were also active in the border areas of New South \Vales, and despite visits by Commercial Agents and substantial reductions in certain rates, considerable business was lost. For example, 80,000 bales less wool were carried by rail from the Riverina and other border areas than in 1954-55. An intense canvass of the territory was recently made with a view to attracting to the rail the current year's clip at rate;;; which had been further reduced. Despite road competition, however, large quantities of traffic, including galvanised piping and steel in t1:ainloads, continued to be handled interstate with · complete satisfaction to our clients. In addition. negotiations \Nere completed for the carriage by rail of substantial tonnages of cPrnE'nt. Passenger traffic also has been adversely affected by the establishment of new interstate and intrastate air services and of road services between capital cities and border towns. Passenger operators, like goods hauliers, are operating from terminals in New South Wales in close proximity to Victorian towns, and are thereby catering for intrastate passengers. 15

Additional Commercial Agents were appointed to canvass for ne\v passenger traffic, particularly large party traveL and to acquaint prospective passengers of the rail facilities available. Commercial Agents continued to maintain dose contact with clients by regular visits to the principal country towns and wool growing areas and with business houses in Melbourne, resulting in traffic being gained and goodwill being enhanced. Olaims Prevention Officers also continued to keep in direct touch with consignors with a view to assisting them in the packaging of their goods for transport by raiL and the results achieved. particularly in diverting unpacked traffic from the road. have been most encouraging.

With the extension of electrification of the Gippsland line to Traralgon, the haulage of trains by electric traction for the full journey to and from Melbourne enabled accelerated passenger and goods services to be introduced on 15th March, 1956. Between Traralgon and Bairnsdale, passenger trains and thP principal goods trains are now hauled by clipsel-electric locomotives. ~ · On 26th March, a daylight expres8 train---" The Daylight ,. comprising modern air-conditioned sitting cars and a buffet car, commenced running between Melbourne and Sydney on three days a week. The overall times for the' journey are 13 hours 25 minutes to Sydney and 13 hours 20 minutes in the reverse direction. This is the fastest train operating between these capital cities and the patronage has been most satisfactory. ·· Two air-conditioned restaurant cars were placed in service on the Hors ham and Warrnambool lines on lOth October, 1955. Although this facility has increaRed the attraction of the journeys, the operating results have been moRt discouraging. Special air-conditioned trains, with dining car service, continued to be run from Melbourne to the more important country race meetings during the year, and were very popular with racegoers. The comfort and service on theRe trains has been the subject of many expressions of commendation.

Suburban. Improved services, rendered possible mainly by the delivery of the firRt of the new type suburban trains, were provided during the year on the Upper Ferntree Gully. Lilydale, Box Hill, Frankston and St. Albans lines. Accelerated running was introduced on the Eastmalvern line a:,; a reRult of its duplication, which was completed except for some short sectionR. Rail passengers who travelled by the special trains to the Royal Agricultural Show in 1955 numbered 265,654. This was 42 per cent. of the total attendance at the Rhow and represented a decrease of HJ,867 passengers by comparison with 1954. Metropolitan race meetings and night trotting meetings at the Showgrounds attracted a total of 609,184 passengers by rail, slightly less than in the previous year. due no doubt to the general decline in patronage at these events.

Goods Train Services. An additional fast goods train was introduced on 4th July. 1955, between Melbourne and Adelaide, leaving the former city at 9.20 p.m. on four days a week and arriving Adelaide approximately 30 hours later. A similar service was provided in the reverse direction. This enabled consignments. not available in time for the afternoon fast goods trains, to be despatched the same ~ay as they are received, and provid~d facilities for the rapid transport of goods between the (,eelong. Ballarat, Ararat and Hamilton areas and South Australia. Timetable adjustments were also made to many country trains with the object of providing better goods transport facilities. For example, the schedules of the Sunday evening goods train conveying live stock for the Melbourne market from the Balranald and Oaklands lines were altered to permit loading being effected approximately 8 hours later than previously. 16 Traffic Train Mileage. A comparison of the traffic train mileage in the past three years is shown hereunder :--

The decrease in 1955~56, as compared with the previous year was due mainly to the fact that, during the first half of 1H54--55. an exceptional volume of wheat was moved.

Full details of train milcages appear in Appendix No. ~).

Traffic Statistics. The volume of paying goods traffic, i.e., excluding materials carried for departmental purposes, and live stock, amounted to 9,127,213 tons, 380,482 tons less than in 1954-55. As already mentioned, an unusual quantity of wheat held in country storages from the previous harvest was hauled in the first half of 1954-55, ·whereas the movement during the year under review was an average one. This resulted in a decrease of 375,489 tons in t,he quantity of wheat carried, while considerable losses occurred in interstate traffic owing to road competition and also in intrastate traffic from border towns under the guise of interstate road haulage. However, increases in the tonnages of certain goods such as briquettes, coal and coke offset, to some extent. the reduction in ·wheat and other traffic. Live stock traffic totalled 47H.570 tons. 16·5 per cent. less than in the previous year. Country passenger journeys totalled 5,584,493. From 1st November. 1955, however. certain stations, viz., Mooroolhark, Lilydale, Lower Femtree Gully, l:pper Ferntree Gully. Wattleglen and Hurstbridge, were changed in classification from country to suburban stations. For comparative purposes, the journeys from those stations have been adjusted to suburban for the full years 1955-56 and 1954-55 and, on this basis, country passenger journeys were 662,305 less than in 1954~55, while suburban journeys decreased by 1,832,97 4. Following the increase in fares in November, 1955, there was a noticeable decline in both suburban and country passenger journeys, which had, until that date, shown increases over those for 1954-55, particularly in respect of suburban travel. Although suburban traffic was progressively being regained towards the close of the year, the country passenger journeys each month were consistt>ntly less than in the previous year. The following statement shov;s the progressive increase in recent years in travel from the more distant suburban stations by comparison with the immediate pre-war period. This clearly indicates the falling off in rail travel in the inner suburbs and the growth of traffic to and from the outer suburban areas

Operating Results. Goods and ln·c ~tock ton mileage was 7 ·l per cent. loss than in the prcviow; vour. primarily due to the rcdnn•d IHO\'(;nwnt of ,,·]wnt (91.692.;')64 ton miles) during the ,·ear under rcYiew. The following 1s a companson of the relentllt figure:-> for tlw past three vears :-.

Due to a reduction in standing time per 1,000 miles from 21 ·1 to 19· 6 hours (7} per cent.) there was an increase in miles per train hour and the gross load hauled per train hour-the latter at 6,323 gross ton miles being a record. This improvement was highest in the Eastern district, where the results reflect the operating advantages being derived from the progressive duplication and electrification of the Gippsland line.

The Wheat Harvest. In the 1955-56 season, the area sown with \Vheat was 2,141,410 acres and production was 41,083,071 bushels; 248,763 acres less and 7,4()1,472 bushels less than in the previous season.

The average yield per acre was 19 · 19 bushels compared with 20 · 28 bushels m 1954-55.

\Vheat railed during the year totalled :34,67~),673 bushels, 11,362.665 bushels less than in the preceding year in the first half of which an abnormal rail movement took place to clear the large quantities of \vheat from the country elevators before the commencement of the new harvest.

Diesel-Electric Locomotives. Ten of the twenty-seven BOO h.p. branch-line units ordered were received during the year. The diesel-electric main-line. branch-line and ~:;hunting locomotives, •vith their high degree of availability for service, continued to give outstanding efficiency of operation, resulting m Rnbstantial finanrial ;:;;avings compared with steam locomotives.

"T" class diesel-electric locomotive 20

The main-line and branch-line units have TUn 12,000,000 and 250,000 train miles respectively. They now regularly operate approximately 65 per cent. of the passenger train mileage and 30 per cent. of the goods train mileage. In view of the .highly satisfactory results being obtained from this type of motive power, tenders were invited in March, 1956, for the supply of ten 1,750 h.p. diesel-electric main-line locomotives. Suburban Electric Trains. Three of the new type submban trains ·were placed in service in the latter half of the year. These trains have met \Vith general public approval because of their spaciousness, excellent riding, fluorescent lighting and general appearance. The accelerated programme of overhauling the older type suburban stock was maintained and further progress was made with the incorporation of improvements for the comfort and convenience of passengers, such a.s modern ventilators, ball beaTing type door rollers, strap hangers and rubberised hair upholstery for seats. Fifty cast steel type motor coach bogies were substituted for pressed steel type units. Delivery eommenced of the 328 single pan pantographs to replace the double pan type on the older submban motoT coaches.

Country Passenger Cars. A further five steel air-conditioned passenger car::; ·were eon:-;trnctetl at Ne\vport Workshops and placed in service on country 1ines. The number of air-conditioned passenger cars. including joint Victorian and South Australian stock, is now 68. Truck Maintenance. Ne\v covered areas provided at North Jfelbourne, Ballarat and Bendigo were fully Ntilized for the overhaul and repair of trucks, while an accelerated programme of truck improvements was introduced. This included the fitting of a better type of door catch, improved ridge gear for tarpaulins, and internal lashing rings designed to facilitate the stowage of goods so as to lessen damage en route. The programme for equipping all trucks in goods service with automatic couplers has been completed and, consequent on this, buffers and transition chains are being removed at the rate of approximately 5,000 trucks annually. Of the total of 22,097 trucks concerned. buffers and transition chains had been removed from 11 ,2~8 trucks at 30th June. The permanent displacement of this equipment has enablecl substantial financial savings to be achieved. To facilitate cleaning and improve the foothold of stock, the floors of an additional 100 sheep trucks were Teplaced by a nevY design.

Workshops. Further machine tools and other equipment were installed as part of the programme for modernizing workshop plant. Eight centre lathes were received for country locations, while additional drilling machines, milling machines and a high capacity turret lathe were obtained for X ewport ·workshops. Modern wood-working equipment was added to the Xewport saw mill and up-to-date patternmaking machinery was also installed. The mechanised melting centre in the Foundry at Newport Workshops \vas placed in operation, and the second unit of the new steam raising plant was nearing completion. Other new equipment ordered included heavy plate cutting machinery, 25 ton capacity overhead travelling cranes, high-production wood working plant. brake manufacturing equipment and additional internal transport vehicles. Five supersonic flaw detectors were ordered for testing purposes and a dynamic balancing machine for traction motor armatures was under construction. To manufacture and Tepair car and truck wheels more eeonomically, plans were being prepared for a self-contained wheel shop at Newport. Fmther extensions to country workshops were completed, with resultant increase in potential. 21

Substitute Fuels for Steam Locomotives. In recent years, two steam locomotives were equipped for test purposes to burn brown coal dust. At the time, prior to the introduction of diesel-electric and main-line electric locomotives, the use of this fuel was an attractive economical proposition, as supplies of black coal were costly and diffwult to obtain adequate quantities, and substitute fuel, tmeh as residual fuel oil, \Yas expensive. Since the inception of the trials with brown eoal dust, however, the position ha::; changed to a marked extent. Diesel-electric and electric locomotives are giving highly efficient and economical service, while residual fuel oil and good quality black coal are readily available at relatively low cost. At the same time, the cost of brown coal dust. increased substantially. Its use, therefore, was no longer an economic proposition and the project has been discontinued. Way and Works Branch. The shortage of loan fnnus restricted the amount of capital works which eoulu be undertaken during the year. :\Iany employees who resigned or retired the course of the year \Vere not replaced, and the total staff of the branch was thereby reduced by about 1,000 men. Relaying of tracks continued as actively as possible, 41 miles of country track and 12 miles of suburban track being relayed. These works and general track maintenance involved the use of 211,000 cubic yards of ballast and 615,000 sleepers. Additional track, totalling 2i miles, was laid on the Eastmalvern line and private sidings were constructed at Spotswood for Caltex Ltd., at Ballarat for Joe White Maltings Ltd., and at 1\:lorwell for the State Electricity Commission of Victoria. In contrast with previous years, adequate supplies of rails, fastenings, sleepers, ballast and other materials were available. 'J'he sleepers obtained totalled 629,115 (of which 35,000 were produced at our sleeper cutting project at Nowa. Nowa), but the majority >vere of inferior quality. Due to limited funds, however, it was not pot>sible to proceed with the establishment of the proposed sleeper preservative treatment plant at Dandenong, the land for which was acquired last year.

Regrading, Duplication and Electrification of the Gippsland Line. Completion of the overhead wiring, sub-stations and tie-stations on the \Varragul­ l\foe-Yallourn section ofthe line enabled goods trains to be operated from Yallourn by electric traction from Hlth September, lH55. With the completion of the electrification to Traralgon, the haulage of trains by electric locomotives to and from 1\Ielbourne was commenced on 15th March, 1956. In all, i)B single track miles of overhead wiring were erected during the year. Hclaying and duplication of the line between Dandenong and Moe were continued, and double line working was introduced behvcen Berwick and Officer. The double track sections now extend from Berwick to Tynong and Longwarry to Yarragon, a distance of 34! miles. The installation of power signalling was continued in conjunction with the electrification and duplication works.

Duplication of Suburban Lines. Melbouirne-South Yarra. Construction of the retaining >valls in the Richmoi1d area was nearing completion and some :filling had been placed, mainly on the "down " side of Swan-street. The sub-structure for the new bridge at Punt-road was under construction and the necessary steel work was in course of delivery. A contract \Vas entered into for the fabrication of the steel work for the bridge at Swan-street. The sub-structure will be constructed, and the steel >vork erected, by this Department. The preparation of plam; for the new Rtation at Riehmoml was well advaneed, and t.he main subway wat'i under eontStruetion. H eyington-Eastrnalvern. Duplication of the line between Heyington and Eastmalvern was continued and the double track is being nsPd on the Kooyong-Gardiner, GlPn Iris-Darling and Darling-Eastmalvern sections. 22

Eastmalvern-Glen Waverley. Because of the shortage of loan funds, the duplication of the section between Mount 'Vaverley and Syndal, to facilitate train crossing, was restricted to the provision of an additional platform and the construction of a crossing loop at Mount Waverley, which were completed and put into use. Carnbencell-Asltburton. The new bridges at Stallhope-grove and Dion-strcet were completed but the construction of the fly-over at East Camberwell was deferred o>ring to lack of finance. Double line working is now in operation between Riversdale and Ashburton.

New station building at Burwood

Ringwood-Upper J?erntree Gully-Lilydale. Earthworks were practically completed for the duplication of portion of the line between Croydon and l\1ooroolbark to facilitate train crossing. Duplication between Bayswater and Lower J<'erntree Gully, for similar purposes, and the construction of an additional platform at Upper Ferntree Gully were also delayed by shortage of funds, and the work earried out during the year was limited to the provision of additional platforms at Boronia and Lower Ferntree Gully, the extension of bridges and culverts and the earthworks in preparation for the laying of the new track.

Increased Track Capacity on Suburban Lines. To permit the operation of a greater number of suburban trainR on existing tracks during peak periods, additional and improved signalling was provided between Melbourne and South Y arra. Similar work was in progress on the Box Hill line. On the JHordialloc line, block posts were installed between Bentleigh and Moorabbin and Highett and Cheltenham. Improved facilities were provided for terminating trains at Moorabbin and Cheltenham. 2i)

New Suburban Stations. The new station at Oak Park (between Glenroy and Pascoe Vale) was approaching completion, but the shortage of funds prevented any progress being made with the proposed stations at Patterson-road, between Bentleigh and Moorabbin, Laburnum-street, between Box Hill and Blackburn, and Heatherdale-road betwem~ l\1it0ham and Ringwood.

Car Parking Facilities for Patrons at Suburban Stations. ·with a view to attracting greater rail travel and providing for existing patrons who travel by car to their local stations, approval waH given for the establishment of additional car parking areas for rail patrons at a number of suburban stations. Some of these areas were in use at the close of the year and work was proceeding at others.

Dynon Goods Terminal. Development of the new goods terminal was continued. On the north side of Dynon-road, where goods traffic has been handled for some time, a new office block was almost completed ; a road weighbridge was installed, and foundations were being constructed for a garage to house tractors, &c. On the south side of the road, the framework of the new shed was erected, and a contract let for its eovering and fitting out. Additional filling 'vas placed and the platforms constructed. Cranes. Further modern electrically operated cranes to facilitate goods handling were installed as follo·ws -8-ton capacity derrick cranes at Warragul, Echuca, Shepparton and Hwan Hill and 5-ton capacity post cranes at Kerang. :Ylaryborough and Sale. Others were in course of erection. Turntables. The remaining hvo of the 8ix electrically operated twin-span turntables received were installed at Bendigo and :Jfaryborough.

Corio Quay Area. The constrnction of the new quay near Geelong invdves the proviswn of railway facilities ~with access from the main North Gcelong yard. Earth" orks, drainage and bridge works in connexion with the facilities were in hand.

Although lack of funds limited the amount of gonm·Bendigo Workshops ; installation of a ''vater treatment plant at D was continued, and general improvements and maiutenanee v;ere carried out at stations, stock yards, etc.

A further number of prc-eut houses \Hls erreted. and. at the elosc ot the year, 1,454 houses of this type had been made available for cmploxPed. Xine prefabricated and three private houses were purchased. The mechanical equipment of the branch was augmented by the purchase of two "Matisa " tic tamping machines, and considerable ouantities of pneumatically operated and motor driven e(plipment for track and bridge maintenance.

Electrical Engineering Branch. 'l'he replacement (Jf obsolete 25 cycle rotary converter sub-stations with modern 50 cycle sub-stations was continued. Of the ten sub-stations required on the Caulfield~ Frankston~Dandenong group of lint>i.-1, the fivl~ on the Frankston line came into operation on 25th .June, 1!156, bt>ing supplied from the group's new main 50 cycle sub-station at Canlfield. '['wo of tlw fom sub-stations on the Dandenong section of the group were completed, and two others were approaching completion. The construction of the direet current section of the Canlfield sub-station was also nearing completion. ]n the Camberwell-Eastmahern area. new sub-stations 1vore placed in operation at Gardincr and Mount 'Yaverley. A temporary sub-station was CJ'("'cted at Lower Ferntree Gully to permit conversion of thu existing suh-statio11 to 50 erdf' power.

The increas0 \VIls due mainly to the receipt from over~eas of rails and sleeper plates for track duplication and relaying, and to rises in the prices of materials regularly consumed. Issues and sales from stock totalled .£H),675.408, a decrease of £1 ,117 .416. while the Rtock turnover was 3 ·Of! compared with 3 · G4 in I D54- 55. A slight decrease was shown in the results of the Heclamation Depot at Spotswood, the value of material rcclaimefl for railway Uf'e and for sale heing £458,004- .£1:3,8fifl less than in the previons year. Supplies of wooden sleepers were less than in preceding yPars, 62!U 15 being reeeived.

Fuel Oil. Consumption of furnace oil v.as 54,589 ton;;:, equal to 12,985,373 gallons, an increase of 1,228 tons over the previous year. The total co;;:t was £491,312 and the average price of the oil was £9 per ton compareil with £8 13s. 6d. per ton in 1954-55.

Diesel Oil. The quantity of diesel fuel oil consumed in oiesel-electric locomotives was 18.7ltl tom; (4,903J86 gallons) at a cost of .£292,670.

Refreshment Services Branch. The total revenue from the branch's activities was £L69~l,598. an increase of £79.087 compared with 1954-55. Automatic drink and chocolate vending machines which were installed during the year at Flinders-street, Princes Bridge and Spencer-street stations contributed to this increase. Approximately 800,000 drinks were served from the drink machines for a revenue of £19,000. An additional £13,000 in revenue was obtained from the chocolate vending machines. Extension of this popular and profitable service was in hand. Two restaurant cars, which comprise several ordinary seating compartments and a section containing a buffet in ·which refreshments are served. were placed in operation on the Horsham and \Varrnambool lines on lOth October. H)55. The patronage of the attractive buffet facilities, ho·wever. has been disappointing. A buffet car service \vas provided on 26th .March, 1956, on " The Daylight" between Melbourne and Sydney, and is contributing to the attraction of thA journey. The Chalet, Mt. Buffalo National Park, maintained its popularity, the average daily number of guests in residence being 145. In ,July, 1955, an abnormally heavy snowfall resulted in the demolition of the main wood shed and garage and serious damage to the water supply at The Chalet, which was closed almost completely for two weeks while repairs were effected. 27

A drink vending mach;ne

A ho::;tel for Tailway ;-;taff was provided at Serviceton on 11th April, 1956. by converting the refreshment rooms which had previous!;' heen elotied owing to lack of patronage. Because of the accelerated timetables introduced on the main Uippsland line, together with the provision of buffet car facilities on Bairnsdale trains, patronage at Sale refreshment room ·waH iHlverselv affected to such an extent that it was closed on 14th .Jam1ary.

On 3nl June, U)56. the basic wage in all Commonwealth Awards covering the Department ,,~as increased from 3fJs. 2d. to 40s. 10d. per da:· without provision for adjustment on account of fluctuatiom; in price level:-;. 28

This did not involve additional cost to the Department as, by Government direction, the basic wage payable to officers and employees had been increased beyond the award rate of 39s. 2d. per day in accordance with fluctuations in the Commonwealth Statistician's " C' " Series Price Index as follows :-- s. d. Vrom 8th :\lav. 1955 ;H) 6 pm day 11'rom 14th A~gust, UJ55 4-0 0 per day From 6th November, l\J55 41 0 per clay From 12th February, 195() 41 10 per day From 6th .Mav. 1956 6 per day J c The increased cost resulting from thes(• eost-of-living adjustments is estimated at £810,000 for the year under review. Application of the principles laid down by the ConnnomYealth Court of Conciliation and Arbitration in the Metal Trades A'vard to similar grades in the Department was completed during the year. and junior rates were also increased. The cost of these increases was approximately £68,000. The average annual payment in Hl55 56 to all officers and employees, including juniors and females, v·ras £H42 by eomparison with £914 in the previous year.

Staff. A consistent campaign to attract staff required in a variety of grades was maintained locally throughout the year while an intensive canvass overseas was also undertaken. Although these efforts were successful to a degree-- cspeeially in respect of migrants-­ deficiencies still exist, partieularly in the metal tradps gradci:l and operating staff. Departmental clasHes of instruetion were continued in all endeavom to overcome the shortage in trained traffic operating staff. During the year. 190 apprentice,..; ·were appointed in 23 trade grades. At the close of the year, the staff (including casual hbour equivalent to 474 men working full time), totalled 2fl.l81. compared with :30,2:35 in the preceding year.

Public Relations. The Public R.elations and Betterment Board pursued with energy its manifold of enhancing the goodwill of the Department with the public and its employees ; of stimulating interest in railway aetivities and tourist attractionfi : encouraging the greater use of rail facilities, and increa::;ing the flow of holiday sightseeing travel within the State. This was carried out through the medium of new::; item::; for pTess and radio, photographs, posters, booklets, pamphlets, mailing pieces, advertisements, films, lectures and in:::;pections. On the tourist side, the Olympic (fameH have called for increased output. An improved map of Melbourne and a valuable Dining Guide are among special productions.

Victorian Government Tourist Bureau. The increa:::;ed revenue of tlH~ bureau and itl"l branches points to the extensive business done by these centres and the importance of the organization in the travel field. Revenue at the Melbourne office totalled £1,154,447 -an increase of £3,7 48. For all offices (including two interstate and four country branches) the revenue was £1,4:33,148.

Suggestions. Suggestions from the staff and public increased from 646 to 1,111 as a result of the display of a special poster on stationR. the URe of" husincRs reply" letter forms, and appeals in the staff magazine, '• Xews Letter··. Eighty-three sngge:,;tions were adopted and appropriate awards made. First-Aid Work. An increasing interest in first aid was shown by the staff, 77R employees qualifying at examinations during the year --122 more than in 1\)54-55. }fore than 8,000 member:,; of the staff are now qualified in first aid, including §58 holding the 8th Gold Life :\Tembership l\Ted<1l. aml B35 the 5th year Silver Efficiency Medal. Thirtv-seven of the :i\) active Ambulance teams. and 138 individuals. entered for the annual departmental competitiom; between district~. .

The Australian Individual Championship was >von for the third year in s1wce~sion by Mr. H. A. Barker, Clerk, of this Department. Victorian Railways Institute. The total membership at the close of the year was 16,1!)7 of whom 13,H64 were members of the staff. This total >vas 147 less than in the previous year. Classes continued at the Institute in purely raihvay subjects, as well as in shorthand, typewriting and accountancy. Reat~onahle average attendances were maintained and the examination results were satisfactory. The library was extended hv the addition of !JAOH books at a cost of £3,640, and 81 new volumes we~e added to the T;~cJmicfll ~eetion. the purchases for which are now guided by an Advisory Committee. Improvements and extemnons to buildings at Dimboola, Shepparton and Colac vvere in hamL and plam were being prepared for a new brick building for the Hamilton centre. Furtl1er progress was made towardH the establishment of a new branch at Serviceton and the formation of a Buh-centre at Rale was mHler conBideration.

State Coal Mine. The quantity of coal raised during the year was 105,972 tonH. After providing for miners' household coal, mine consumption. nllO\nmces and >mste, the output available for sale was 89,323 tons. The whole of thiH, with the exception of 5,885 tons sold to the public, was supplied to the railways. Of this quantity 42.:33B tons of small coal were made available to the State Electricity Commission of Victoria. After payment of working expenses, loan redemption and interest charges, and allowing £24,975 for (lepreciation. the operation of the J\fine resulted in a loss of £172,359. The amount paid in wages was .£610,624. the net average eontract earnings being 87s. 7·53d. per miner per shift. compared with 81s. 7·12d. in the previous year.

Visits Abroad. :Yir. R. M. Wright, Assistant to the Staff Board, "Who left Australia in December, HJ54, to recruit staff in Great Britain and on the Continent. returned on 25th October, 1955. The work was continued by Mr. R. A. Smith. who returned on 19th :Yl~1y, 1956. The mission was successful in obtaining urgently neederl Htafi. Arrangements "Were made for Mr. W.

Changes in Personnel. We wish to express our profound regret at the sudden death, on lOth November, 1 D55, of .Mr. R. G. Wishart, Chairman of Commissioners. Mr Wishart, with his tremendous capacity for ·work and great organizing ability, guided the Victorian Railways successfully through recent difficult years. He played an outstanding part in preparing the Department's rehabilitation scheme, and it was a tribute to his efficiency in handling its progressive implementation that his term as Chairman was extended by the Government beyond the normal retiring age in order to ensure its successful continuity. Pending the appointment of a Chairman, lVIr. N. QuaiL Secretary for Hailways, ·was appointed Acting Commissioner from 22nd November, 1955. .:VIr. .J. L. Timewell.
