Skyrail really is so much nicer than trenches (Ringwood East vs Croydon)

Engineering in Melbourn is good , like infrastructure, Melbourn water projects. But architecture is absolutely imbecile. Buildings can not even be put in a chategories of architecture. I don’t know what schools those architects finished. Some rock and roll camp workshop.

To answer the question, i would suggest to show on the map with little arrows where thise entries are, when you go from station to station. You are asume g that people know city centre as their pocket. We do not .

V/line would be the best because you could actually rest

I do love at 11:34 how you show an idiot pedestrian almost walking directly in front of the tram!! How hard is it to turn your bloody head? I think the only reason he stopped was due to the wind being pushed in front of the tram itself letting him know it was there. Geez! Some people are examples of that 'Dumb Ways to Die' song. It will be lovely to have a new rail system for the city but the essential project needed is the Suburban Rail Link around the city. Really there should be another ring just like it further out east with stations running north-south from Lilydale to Upper Ferntree Fully, so: down through Mount Evelyn, Kilsyth through to Lysterfield and further south. When I think of just how far behind other major global cities we are in terms of rail accessibility. Our rail between State Capitals and regional centres is a joke. How many federal governments commissioning reports do we need before someone actually puts pen to paper to sign off on a proper infrastructure bill which gives regional Australia access to cities via HSR? If a Labor government ever wants to topple the Nationals in the bush all they need to do is commit to safe consistent rail services at reasonable costs to ride and the bush will vote with their sensibility and knowledge that one party actually does something rather than just talk and promise never delivered projects.

Great video, Ty! Kooyong used to be called North Malvern? 11:04

As it's my local station, I will defend Ruthven - has had a nice resurfacing, extra shelter, the free grass space now has a substation on it. They should paint the building red like it was when it opened in 1963, though. It lacks facilities, but you know what does have facilities? My house, a few minutes walk away.

My judgement on this station is still the same as I did the review

Metro Tunnel Melbourne Airport Rail Link Suburban Rail Loop Western Rail Plan Geelong Fast Rail

Hurstbridge and Mernda lines Alamein, Glen Waverley, Belgrave and Lilydale lines Craigieburn, Sunbury and Upfield lines Cranbourne and East Pakenham lines Frankston, Werribee and Williamstown lines Sandringham Line

As of 2025, The Metro Tunnel was completed which included twin 9 km rail tunnels between South Kensington and South Yarra, 5 new underground stations at Arden, Parkville, State Library, Town Hall and Anzac and it has the Sunbury, Cranbourne and Pakenham lines running through it. Also it has direct airport connection via the Melbourne Airport Rail Link which was completed in 2029 and included an upgraded Sunshine Station with a new regional platform and a new transport superhub, a rebuilt Albion Station on ground level on the Sunbury Line, a new Keilor East Station on ground level and a new elevated Melbourne Airport Station on skyrail. And as of 2043, the Suburban Rail Loop was completed which is a 90 km rail line from Cheltenham to Werribee via Melbourne Airport and 60 kms of it from Cheltenham to Melbourne Airport was built underground with 13 new underground stations at Cheltenham, Clayton, Monash, Glen Waverley, Burwood, Box Hill, Doncaster, Heidelberg, Bundoora, Reservoir, Fawkner, Broadmeadows and Melbourne Airport, 2 new transport superhubs at Clayton and Broadmeadows and SRL driverless trains.

On the South Morang Line as of 2018, the Mernda Rail Extension from South Morang to Mernda was completed and it included 3 new stations at Middle Gorge, Hawkstowe and Mernda. Middle Gorge Station was built on ground level and Hawkstowe and Mernda Stations were built above ground with skyrail. And that train line is now called the Mernda Line. And as of 2019, the level crossing at High Street, Reservoir was removed by building a 1 km skyrail with a new elevated Reservoir Station. Then, as of 2022, the 4 level crossings at Oakover Road, Bell Street, Cramer Street and Murray Road in Preston were removed by building a 2 km skyrail with 2 new elevated stations at Bell and Preston. And then, as of 2024, the level crossing at Keon Parade, Keon Park was removed by building a 750 m skyrail with a new elevated Keon Park Station.

On the Hurstbridge Line as of 2018, the level crossing at Grange Road, Alphington was removed by lowering the rail corridor beneath the road into a rail trench, which also included track duplication between Heidelberg and Rosanna and the level crossing removal at Lower Plenty Road, Rosanna by building a skyrail with a new elevated Rosanna Station. And as of 2023, the Hurstbridge Line Duplication was completed which included around 3 kms of duplicated tracks between Greensborough and Eltham and around 1.5 kms between Diamond Creek and Wattle Glen. Around 4.5 kms of track duplication in total between Greensborough and Hurstbridge. Greensborough and Montmorency stations got completely rebuilt and Diamond Creek Station got upgraded. Then, as of 2027, the level crossing at Ruthven Street, Macleod was removed by building a skyrail over the road. And then, as of 2028, the rail tunnel under Greensborough Highway was extended a few hundred metres longer and a new multi-deck car park was built at Watsonia Station as part of the North East Link.

only metro station with its direction after its name. the railway line was in the spot you thought, it was basically identical design to keon park two entrances but with only one overpasS???

Concourse looks a bit like Greensborough's

Can Tecoma be next?

damn that's a lot of grafitti

I am not going to lie but I think Beaconsfield is also a pretty bad station since it doesn't have too much shelter and it doesn't even have the PIDS for the next train information which is really annoying.

I feel like next time in melbs, I want to a do a full 901 ride from Frankston to airport…. Or if there’s a much longer bus, tell me haha

Have you done any videos on the SRL? Would be interested to see and hear your take. Great Vids! :)

2 weeks ago, one of the diggers on franklin street hit a water main and it looks like every worker had to evacuate cause the water started flooding the tunnel. Not sure how much that delays works, though.

What happened with Joe Barr (John Holland boss) saying that it would be ready by September this year? Is 2025 an election year?

Awesome really enjoyed the trip and well done Nick keeping you company and all that running 🚂

I wonder why an upgrade for Parliament etc wasn't coordinated with new stations? Poor Parliament has same paint job since it opened! It's held up magnificently but really needs some TLC. Even a proper ongoing maintenance program would have mitigated the complete overhaul it now needs

I live near Latrobe and use those trams all the time. For AGES no one used them, they were very empty. Now there's the upgrade - they are packed all the time! The students finally got the memo! Lol it makes me laugh.

Sorry you had to lurk inside Maccas. Can't you see anything from the foyer of the Westin Hotel?

as someone who rides a tram down st kilda road from flinders st to near anzac station every day for work, this will be a game changer! the trams are super crowded, get stuck in traffic and take 15 minutes to travel down the road. I can't wait to ride a train!

Capping beams run across the top of piles and provide structure above a platform to be built on. They also transfer the load of the above structure to the piles

Great getting the technical details on the updates! Thanks for putting these together.

The temp bridge was still better than the bridge at Jacana.

burnley station never fails to give me the unnerving feeling that I'm in a twilight zone episode

3:13 - FYI, boollook is a Bunorong language word for swamp, so the name of the park is actually just "Swamp" in both English and the local First Nations language. ❤💛🖤

Ah… that was a “fun” day. Here in New York it crashed the system we use to keep track of what crews are on what trains and what trips they’re making. They had to break out the pencil and paper method from times gone by. It didn’t actually affect train service, just the tracking, and someone compared us to the 2004 “Battlestar Galatica”… can’t crash a computer you don’t have…

Thank you! I often wonder what's happening underground (and else where) whenever I travel past any signs of construction. By the end of journey, I've added it to the hundreds of other things I'd like to know (time and attention being limited). Stumbling across this video was well worth the time and some of the photography was a pleasure - who knows what time of day or night you've lurked about an empty city to get those super shots!

I'm guessing the contractor makes a small profit every night they can keep those diesel lights on...

Love your work.

I don't watch news but electromagnetic radionation from a train would not affect a hospital any more than a mobile phone would. Vibrations are the issue, trains are still running 1/2 speed under the hospital because of it. There are many highly sensitive instruments (like MRI) which have been seen to be affected by the trains vibrations. There are instruments with similar issues caused even still with the 1/2 speed trains at other facilities along the works lines.

Regarding the new streetlights being up and not used yet - The supply Authority - Citypower in this case - won’t book a connection until the electrical work has been completed and signed off and a Certificate of Electrical Safety issued. Only then it will go into their schedule - which usually takes 3 to 6 months from booking. Customers - even big ones like the State Government, are left with no alternative but to use diesel light towers while they wait as they can’t connect one Gen in to run the lights as this then effectively cancels the COES issued as the wiring would be disturbed. It’s a big cluster bomb and I have to work with this every day with what I do. Great update - appreciate your time to make it. 👍

I regularly travel on trains purely for phun 'n' fotos. I am really looking forward to exploring the new system, and your updates serve to increase the anticipation. Many thanks.

Absolute waste of time and money imo

This project is taking too long and too many disruptions and traffic issues.

I used to use North Richmond station coming back from Kew, I have never felt more unsafe anywhere else in Victoria and I regularly go through the city at night.

‘Arrive into’…???

Franklin Street should remain closed (No access to Victoria Street) Franklin Street should be a winter garden

What is the sectional RL of the Rail line under Punt Road? Will it limit and prevent a future road tunnel under punt road? The location of Anzac stations is a mistake should have been located closer to Toorak Road. A missed opportunity could have and a should have included a local underground shopping. . St Kilda Road should not be the municipal boundary. As a minimum Queens Road should be the boundary. Ideally the State Seats of Albert Park, Melbourne and Phrahran (Possibly Richmond) should be Part of the City of Melbourne. The closed bike lane on State kilda RD should re removed.

A fascinating and well presented report. Although I am on the other side of the World in Britain, it is interesting to see what is happening in Australia. It looks good. The mention of interference with medical equipment is particularly interesting as I have just read something similar about the South Wales Metro (currently under construction with discontinuous electrification). It seems that the tram-trains will be using battery power whilst passing medical facilities in Cardiff. One question- What track gauge is used by the Metro and also by the trams.

It's wild that they choose to reopen Franklin and not just use it as an opportunity to kick cars out of an area. Just unpleasant to think there'll be another wait to cross a road directly next to a station.

Thanks so much for this! I can't wait to go exploring. I'm old enough (just) to remember when the city loop first opened. How things have changed since then!
