History


Sunbury station opened on 10 February 1859, as a terminus, with the line not extended north for two more years. The three track yard dates back from this time, and was unique in Victoria. There was a large goods shed on its southern side, a large silo on its northern side, as well as sheep/cattle ramp and yards. There was also housing for railway staff, including two houses in Horne Street, and the Station Master's house in Brook Street, all demolished in the 1980s.


Proper interlocking of the signals and point work did not exist until 1981, and the station was not fully interlocked until 1998, when a Solid State Interlocking was provided. The layout of the station was again altered, as part of the Regional Fast Rail project, in 2005.


On 18 November 2012, the station was added to the metropolitan network, when the line from Watergardens was electrified. The station was also upgraded, as part of these works.[2][3] Electrification to Sunbury was first proposed in the 1970s, along with a new station north of the township, along the Sunbury bank, north of the Jackson Creek bridge, to serve the Goonawarra housing estate. However, after a drop in population estimates, the idea was abandoned.[4]

Volkswagen Group MQB platform

Image
The Volkswagen Group MQB platform is the company's strategy for shared modular design construction of its transverse, front-engine, front-wheel-drive layout (optional front-engine, four-wheel-drive layout) automobiles. Volkswagen spent roughly $60bn [1] developing this new platform and the cars employing it. The platform underpins a wide range of cars from the supermini class to the mid size SUV class. MQB allows Volkswagen to assemble any of its cars based on this platform across all of its MQB ready factories. This allows the Volkswagen group flexibility to shift production as needed between its different factories. Beginning in 2012, Volkswagen Group marketed the strategy under the code name MQB , which stands for Modularer Querbaukasten , translating from German to "Modular Transversal Toolkit" or "Modular Transverse Matrix". [2] [3] MQB is one strategy within VW's overall MB (Modularer Baukasten or modular matrix) program which also includes th...
