Went to the footy yesterday on the D train. 11.13 am train from Pakenham. What a great idea and trip in it was.

The Casey Demons, MFC and Metro should all be congratulated on the idea and carrying out of the day. We arrived at the station to see many of the staff, the buglar, face painting and a balloon person. When the train arrived the staff hung the first two carriages with red and blue balloons up popped the ruckle more passengers arrived and we were off.

All the seating was taken by the time we got to Dandenong. Red and blue everywhere, free chockies, year books and car stickers. The little kids loved it and the not so little ones too. By the time we got to Richmond there wasn't even any standing room either, and many Dees supporters were in other carriages as well.

Great day, great idea cant wait to the next one. I was told they will have more carriages for the Dees on the next one.

Well done to all concerned.

The "D-Train" sounds a helluva lot more fun than the "reality bus" the rest of us are on!

Sounds like a great idea! (I wonder if Qld Rail can put one on from the Gold Coast to Brisbane next Sunday? LOL)

I get the D' train to the G' every week!
But all it is is me in my car by myself with a scarf hanging from the window singing It's a Grand Ol' Flag as i drive up the Princes Highway...

Yes, I know the feeling - my D train is my little blue car covered in Dees stickers. With Dees licence plates. No hiding for me!

Sounds like the train was fun - pity the club can't organise some for other areas, I am sure more members would enjoy the experience. I wonder if such trains would encourage more people to turn up?

Some years ago they used to have a "D" train leave "Southern Cross" Station to go down to Geeeelong. It was the same with flags and red and blue everywhere. Always a great trip down but usually a morose trip home.
