- Travel with the train driver as we journey along the Upfield line in the northern suburbs of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia in this Comeng electric suburban train. July 2023
Awesome video! The upfield line is probably one of my favorites and it’s pretty cool seeing the train go via the loop.
@@Sandddsss you're welcome. Very happy you enjoyed the ride through the loop and out to Upfield. 👍😀
I love that thanks for uploading this video of Comeng Metro Train
You're welcome. Very happy you enjoyed the video 👍 😀
It would be nice to see a driver view of the train from Flinders Street Station to the Showgrounds while the show is on next week. The train arriving with the rides in the background and station attended would look cool!
@@Grant-u9l that's not a bad idea. I need to see what my commitments are and if I have time to do it 👍😀
I work not far from the Upfield station in Campbellfield. Go across this line in Fawkner and park near Brunswick station on the weekend sometimes.
This is very familiar territory for me. Interesting to see it from the drivers view. Thanks for uploading this.
@@gregw9289 you're welcome. Glad you enjoyed the ride and the view from the drivers seat. 👍😀
The sheer number of signals inside the city loop is amazing
@@ksmashgamer5748 allows more trains to travel through the loop. It gets pretty full during peak hour. 👍😀
Good video 😊
@@MarcelosalivaTRENESArg thank you. Very happy to hear you enjoyed the ride 👍 😀
Great video
@@yargn3594 thank you. Glad you enjoyed it 👍 😀
Comengs are the V8s of EMUs, they sound amazing. We'll miss them when they're gone.
@@longdongjohn6588 they are a great train. 😀😀👍
Great video, I really miss the RVB 3 Chime horns on the comengs
@@redblanket17709 it just doesn't sound right now to hear the whistle blow. 🤔 Glad you enjoyed it 👍 😀
Thanks for posting a great video. I look forward to seeing the Jewell - Brunswick - Anstey section when they get skyrailed. I live in Sydney and I am used to seeing double colour light signalling for block working. The signals normally display green over green, amber or red and red over red for through running. I am confused with the Melbourne signalling system showing red over green and green over red. I look forward to seeing the Gowrie to Upfield section when this section is duplicated in the future.
@@frankbanner8572 once the changes are made I will be videoing it again. Glad you enjoyed it. 👍😀
I think the furthest I've been on this line in recent memory was Jewell and Moreland, respectively, to go to Stay Gold and Valhalla Axe Throwing. The new Moreland station is impressive.
Though the last time I went to the end of the line was maybe 21 years ago. How time flies.
@@georgeheilman4243 time waits for no one. 🤔 Glad you enjoyed it 👍 😀
The Jewell - Brunswick - Anstey part's supposed to be getting skyrailed and the 3 stations replaced with 2 so good to see this as is now.
@@rick_fortune a point in time captured. Glad you enjoyed it 👍 😀
I was wondering about the many level crossings still in existence, also the stations seem very close together! So, SKYRAIL with two stations replacing three, seems a good idea!
@@johncoyle777 👍😀
Anstey and Brunswick are something like the 3rd closest pair of stations on the network, so I can understand replacing 2 with 1 there.
@@rick_fortune 👍😀
Not often we get to spend about a quarter of a video underground. :)
Good to see your camera take a side trip.
@@martythemartian99 it wanted to do something a little different. 😀👍
Holy crosstown! It's *Batman Station!* Is the next stop *Robin?* LOL😁
@@neilforbes416 how did you know?? 😀 It is...... 😂😂👍😀
@@driver667 As long as the next stop isn't *Catwoman!* Meeeeaaaaaoooooowwwww!😁
@@neilforbes416 😀😀👍
@@driver667 I was waiting for the purrrrrrfect reply! LOL😄
@neilforbes416 the next stop is Poison Ivy actually. 😃
👍
@@mihailoarsic5716 👍😀
Why does has a crocs over between Coburg and Batman station?
@@exzoxv it allows for termination of trains and return in both directions when required maybe due to track works or other disruptions. 👍😀
Only new her, so apologies if asked before. Is it possible to do a video of you working the controls aswell? Would definitely be cool to see both views in a video!
@@gillyggee4085 I don't show the controls of current trains due to security concerns but here is one where I show the controls on a heritage TAIT train. Welcome to the channel. 👍😀ua-cam.com/video/qJPP8uO7EFw/v-deo.htmlsi=0l-8gQu9A56KZk-u
I see! Good point, will definitely take a look. Thanks!@@driver667
@@gillyggee4085 👍😀
Thanks for the great video as the sound of a comeng is far the best sounding train.
Was the driver possibly using the air brakes as thats why there is alot of ppssst pssst air sounds coming from the cab?
@@johntasevski8046 yes, the driver was using the air brake. The comeng units are good trains. Glad you enjoyed it 👍 😀
Watching a mighty comeng never gets old thanks alot for all videos.
Is it Me or did the driver over shoot the platforms in the city loop and north melb?
It just looks like it with the position of the camera. 👍😀
Nothing can beat a good old comeng and the sounds of the air brakes adds the icing on the cake.
Do you know if its drivers choice if they choose only to use the air brakes through there whole shift over the rheo brakes?
@@johntasevski8046 it's a drivers choice. The comeng trains are a great train. 👍 😀
did you whistle at 1:10?
@@mineyon-ms I wasn't the driver on this one. 👍😀
Curious, how does the driver remember which station the wheelchair users are getting off at?
The wheelchair person tells the driver and it is written down on a note in the cab. 👍😀
Unusual for you being at the helm of a suburban train?
I'm not 100% sure, but I think it was just the camera taking a little trip sans owner.
Maybe he has friends that drive for Metro Trains.
@@thebops4180 yes, my camera went for a ride. 👍😀
