When is the xtrapolis trains gonna get the new pids?
I want to hear the new Richmond announcements. Now that east Pakenham is open.
Wait. I thought the Siemens trains were taken off the Northern Group lines.
werribee line also goes through north melbourne no?
@@emilmofardin2.0 it does, are you stupid af?
Will there be one for the Alstom Comeng
There is already than one
Your.. you’re in a loop..!
That's the Sydney 3-tone sound at the start!
You’re like 2 years late, how come you never noticed until now?
@@transportfanaussie i don't live in Melb!
cool
First metro announcements video on the upgraded upgraded Siemens pids i should say
great to see the series continue!
When I was on Comeng 1159T on Craigieburn Line last Sunday, after that it became North Melbourne Comeng
When this svc existed
Every weekday twice in the morning peak or when there are works on
very short video 😂😂
Lol
That's gonna be too common before the tunnel opens
The only difference between the morning express trains and the afternoon ones are the morning trains stop at Malvern but the afternoon ones don't
Given the tradition of the old horns now relegated to history, so too should the needless use of them. It's unnecessary, and is disturbing for those that live near train lines. Cry wolf, anyone? The door handles are torture. I have arthritis so I have to use two hands to try and open the doors. It's unnecessary, and it's ableist. Love the Comeng, thanks for your efforts to provide us with updates 🛤️
I’m pretty sure the Ev100 maintenance train still has the rvb horn. Strange how a literal maintenance train still has it but not the comeng.
Yes. Some of SSR's locos have em!
as someone who lives near the Hurstbridge line i sadly never got to experience these beautiful tin cans happily roll along the rails, now its just the dang xtrapolis sets.
:(
Curious to know what is the reason xtrapolis trains can't currently run on Craigieburn line?
Haven't been authorised to take passengers. As to why they haven't, guessing just no need as they run on most other lines
Do you think once Xtrapolis 2.0s enter service on the Craigieburn line, do you think the Xtrapolis 100s will also enter servcie on the Craigieburn line
Personally, I think it's unlikely. Wbu?
Pretty interesting. Was this for driver training, radio testing or something else?
Driver training
@StrayaTrains Thought so. Thanks.
what day was this?
Last Sunday
@@StrayaTrainslol that was when I went on Metro Comeng
Why would they use an xtrap when they can't normally run on the Craigieburn line? Also, why did that comeng have the panto down?
Not sure for either!
4:35 did Comeng 1159T come cause I was in that carriage
Can't remember
lmao i saw one at Newmarket while going to Flagstaff on Comeng 1159T
saw only 4 in my life lol jacana 11:30am is the time!
wow
Damn the thumbnail really makes it look it was in service at first glance
Last Wednesday I saw a werribee service on the PID while waiting at parliament platform 3. Is this normal?
Not normal but can happen at times when they are transposing trains :)
X'TRAPOLIS ON CRAIGIEBURN LINE?!
X’trapolis on the Craigieburn line!!!??? That would be like a Siemens on the Mernda line!
ok hilary badger. i saw U
Where?
@@hilarybadger1231 i'm not telling you hahaha
Do you know when you'll get to film the new Ringwood East and Croydon stations yet?
Not sure. The delayed Croydon opening stuffed my plans up
@@StrayaTrains Yeah, it was supposed to open in July, but only opened last week. Hope you can go soon.
Cool video and also 2:43 you can see the Xpt going by aswell
Thanks and yes!
Ok
best intro
Thanks!
I just can’t get over Comeng sounding like an X’trap.. it sounds rather scary to me and makes me feel a little sick (specially hearing it with the doors). The RVB 3 Chime was just too iconic to replace. I wish they replaced them with a synthetic electronic horn which is modelled to sound like the RVB’s just a bit louder to comply. But there is only so much that can happen, that idea is all but a fantasy.. they’d sound a little flat but better if anything. So much has gone on that I never realised, was rather pleasant seeing this.
Very sad :(
I love trains
Cool to see this happening on my birthday
Happy birthday!
@@StrayaTrains thank you
Do you think the xtrap trains will also get a new upgrade for the internal PIDS to show a map like the new Siemens PIDS in the train? Also if this happens, this will be the first time we see the color red and dark blue actually shown on a train interior PID. Btw I’ve heard some people talk about something called ‘Metro tunnel 2’, do you know anything abt it?
Possible but unlikely in my opinion. But honestly not sure
Good morning passengers, Your next service to depart from platform one will be the windows stopping all stations except Sunbury
I take it those platforms will be redundant once the Metro tunnel opens?
Not quite believe it or not!
cool
401M-1051T-402M remaining in service today as of 17/8/2024
On Monday 12th August between 12pm and 4pm, the line was suspended with Buses replacing trains between Oakleigh and Westall due to an overhead issues. Once it resumes again, trains run back to normal services with delays then they sent a Comeng to run a few services during the afternoon peak on the Cranbourne line. Thanks for the update 🎉❤ : ) Cheers
Why did the rare Comeng ran revenue services on the Cranbourne line instead of HCMTs throughout August 2024?
Talking of interesting/unexpected train movements around this time, by sheer luck I somehow managed to catch a Siemens on a Northern group service between Parliament and Flinders St this morning (I think it was going to Craigieburn). I was so confused but also kinda happy to be able to get one, as I'm pretty sure it's just Comengs usually on that group now. But this is of course even cooler and more unexpected. Thanks as always. Really hope we get one out to East Pakenham someday.
i could have caught that but i was a bit too busy. thanks for catching it for me
COMENG?!
I want one of those horns just so I can reminisce from time to time😂
