New features

The latest three-carriage VLocities, introduced from mid 2010 to late 2012, are coloured in the red and purple V/Line brand on unit's exterior.

Like all VLocity carriages added to the fleet since 2009, some chairs feature fold-down tables which are popular with commuters who use their laptops to work on the train.

New high-intensity discharge lights have also been fitted to the front of the train to improve visibility and allow motorists to better see approaching trains at level crossings. The lights are so bright their use is restricted to regional areas.
