R2

R2 Is a 3 car Suburban R Set In Southbourne Railways, It is coupled to R3. This meant that it was one of the longer sets of trains running on the Southbourne Railway Network. It was serving on the Northern line, participating in all-stop services on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays. Though it would do an occasional express service stopping at Bowrania, Clydeson, Alpha Junction, Tonkton, Grandton Central and back again. Due to it being one of the oldest R sets to be serving on the network, it would often have a loud gurgling noise when starting the engine. The drivers and depot workers gave it the nickname: Kookaburra, (because it was similar it it's laugh), and then was forwarded onto the Southbourne Railways Suburban Network HQ which gave it the official name we know and love today: Kookaburra. It was in service almost all of the time, which meant that it needed more frequent repairs compared to the other trains. Every third Sunday, it would go into repairs, which would leave R3 to do the express services for the whole 6-car train! They eventually fixed the gurgling sound of the starting engine due to noise complaints from the depot's neighbors. But, the name still lives on today and it doesn't look like it would be changed any time soon!
