I've been very impressed with your videos train man, especially the closed down lines from the past and the fact you actually get as close as you can where these abandoned train lines were located. Great job ! I'm curious to know how you developed an interest in the Melbourne train network and how you obtain your information.
Thanks a lot Marinko. First of all I appreciate the support. Melbourne's Train System and abandoned lines have been lifetime interests and passions of mine. I don't know what it is, but I have many great childhood memories consisting of trains. As for the information, I do look at Wikipedia, however unreliable it may be, it still has heaps of information. I also look at historical news articles and anecdotes which give interesting facts about certain things. Hopefully you enjoy my channel for however long I do it for, and let me know any videos you want to see!
For this video, I looked at the metro tunnel website for updates and news, aswell as videos. The videos on the tunnel are very insightful!
Because I think metro station is located in the nearby cbd flinderstreet station which is near feration square
hi\
I've been following the building of this; but I find the web site hard to navigate; so, there's a BIG thank you from me for putting this all together. Nicely done. Great idea to do the voice over of the original footage from their page. Brilliant!
The changes and the growth of Melbourne over the last 30 years is amazing. I grew up there. Left in 1987. Returned in 2017. I felt like Rip Van Winkle. So many old landmarks gone. So many new one built.
Agreed, you must have left Melbourne as the Port Melbourne and St Kilda lines closed, fascinating. I'm sure you would have had a shock at the growth you'd have seen and I'm very jealous, shame about all the old landmarks though, thanks!
@@thetrainman548 When I left, Port Melbourne was just that, a port. Only modern building was the, so called, World Trade Centre and Coroners court. In 2017 I planned to stay at the Southern Cross Hotel for sentimental reason. That was a shock. Princes Bridge Station gone. I was on the Hurstbridge line. Walking around the city after 30 years It was the most surreal feeling and I felt like a time traveller.
Wow, that's incredible, it would have been sad, and I can't imagine how weird a feeling that would have been.
In Sydney we installed 3X the number of rings on 26K of twin tunnels between Chatswood and Sydenham, the work was completed in less than 18 months.
Wow, very impressive, I wish Melbourne's tunnel were completed that fast!
wtf, how thats actually impressive
lol in Shanghai they dug almost 600km's of tunnels in just 20 years.
@@doloresumbridge2531 The 800m of the second under the harbour tunnel built in less than a month, the same contractor is building the tunnels in Melbourne.
@@thetrainman548 i bet the soil and rock quality is very different, so faster machines could be used. just a guess though
4:40 if you go on a train between south Yarra and Caulfield/Hawksburn on a Frankston or Dandenong line(s) train (Sandringham trains beach off before the portal), you can look out the window and see the portal
I would have gone on the train, but better be safe than sorry with Covid-19.
A fantastic project that will provide great public transport for future generations 😃👌👌👏👏👏👏❤️🇦🇺
I would imagine now, instead of going by tram, people would go on the train to uni from 2025
Definately quicker and more convinient option to the trams for lots of people
I’ll be in uni in 2025 if I go lol
My uni already has a station in the middle of it
@@Kni0002 Monash Frankston?
Another fascinating doco - I had little idea that any of this was happening!
Haha, I'm very excited about it, but if you aren't looking for it, I don't think many people know about it!
im gonna go inside the ventilation tunnels for sure
You should be CEO of Metro Trains, your knowledge of the rail system is amazing.............
Well, that's very kind of you, maybe one day I'll be involved in a rail project!
Another great vid . i now have some idea about the Metro Tunnel . Really informative. Thanks!! 😁👍
Glad you enjoyed another video, thanks!
Thanks for posting this, Max. It really helps explain how the project is developing. Hopefully I'll get to return to Melbourne before it's completed!
I love your videos. They are so informative and very interesting. Well done.
This is really un impressive undertaking. One can only salute the engineers! 👍👍👍
Indeed, they are doing such a great job, despite many people angered by the length of time it is taking. What an interesting channel you have by the way!
Very informative video! Looking forward to the Metro Tunnel being finished!
Glad you enjoyed! Can't wait for it's completion
Excellent summary buddy, well done!
Thank you, glad you enjoyed!
Thanks mate..massive project and well explained..plus great graphics !! Well done !!
Thank you Craig! Great to hear you liked the video!
Hahaha I just went from your Melb train history video to this one. Thats one hell of a voice change. Grats on the high views on these vids! Keep it coming
Really impressive videos and knowledgeable videos about everything rail, just wanted to say been enjoying your content.
Thank you very much! Appreciate the support and great to hear you enjoy my videos!
The Train Man keep it up, especially enjoyed the now demolished station and what remains at fed square area.
Just discovered this channel! Have always been interested in Melbournes train system sense visiting the city a couple of years ago .
From Brisbane we are getting cross river rail.
Thanks Troy, happy to hear that my videos peak your interest! I would love to visit Brisbane and do videos there one day, excited for you Cross River Rail too!
Not sure if this could interest you but a video of how the Melbourne/ Victoria rail signal system works .like what the different colour combinations signal aspects mean .?
Very interesting, fantastic project for Victoria. Thank you for the great presentation
Great videos as always. Not sure if you heard the update or not, but North Melbourne station name got dumped and is now just Arden station. I'm hoping to upload more often too. I love your content, is very good.
Hey True Believers, been liking your videos too. Yes I just read after I uploaded that there was a name change haha. Hopefully we can both get on a good video schedule, maybe collab one day!
That was an awesome video mate, thanks 👍👍
Thanks for all the support on many of my videos, I truly notice it mate :)
@@thetrainman548 that’s ok 👍😀
So proud of this construction work
letsseeif, me too!
Amazing insight!
I would love to travel on the new tunnel when it completes.
Me too
Sweet!... like your new deeper voice :D
Hahahahaha, thanks man
1:15 ahhhhh when I used to vline to work in cbd and went by south Ken station. I always wondered what was going to happen to the open yard area. I saw one building had like something in like art space or work space but guess going to be a station now
fantastic video
Thank you David 😊
Well done again, keep them coming 👍
Thanks a lot Steve!
Thanks for this up to date video - can't wait for the metro tunnel to open.
Same with me, it will be very exciting for Melbourne, glad you liked it!
@The Train Man, hi budy ... just wanted toknow hows the mornington line going.

Thanks Mate, really appreciate the support!
Hi Cameron
Melbourne Trains Vlogs Hello

Thanks very much Fik, appreciate the support!
wow
Can't wait for the metro tunnel to open.
Going to be a very long 5 years!
Great video! Very informative!
Thank you very much! Happy to hear it :)
The Train Man all good :)
Can’t wait for the metro tunnel open
Same with me!
Awsome work Train dude! Can’t wait for your next video!!!!!!
Hopefully coming soon!
its your dream!
This channel needs more subs! SERIOUSLY
Thank You, We are starting to grow!
400 When this was made; 2.7k nine months later (Dec 29, 2020) Your wish is being granted.
0:27 yes wow
Lol haha
Great video! simple to understand. cant understand what the government are mentioning about the rail system!
Thank you David, so happy to hear you enjoyed! I love to keep my videos simple, so it is great to hear it working :)
You presented that better than PTV
Thank you Freddie, that means a lot
@@thetrainman548 Looking forward to more updates mate
They started in 2018 and won't finish until 2025/26
Cross river rail started in 2019 and is nowhere near as far as the metro tunnel (they're about 3 metres deep last I checked) and it is supposed to be finished in 2024.
Either Melbourne is really slack or Brisbane has made an insane overestimation in their completion time. Obviously the tunnel in Melbourne is longer, but it isn't THAT significant. Brisbane is about 2 years behind Melbourne right now but is supposed to finish a year early.
That's very interesting, not too sure how thats happening, is Melbourne's in more built up areas, thats the only reason i can think of. Thanks!
You would think a project this efficient would not be so goddam expensive, the city loop only cost 2 or 3 billion adjusted to today's money, this will end up 20b
Very exciting
I agree! Hope you liked the video!
It goes so fast projets in Australia are going fast like the Sydney metro too
The Sydney Metro is going up pretty fast I think. Melbourne's Tunnel is taking longer than most people think is should, still pretty exciting regardless. Hope you liked the video!
Why MEL has no double-decker trains as others big cities like in Sydney Hamburg, Boston Barcelona Chicago or Toronto? Thanks and cool videos
Thank you :)
I am not 100% sure why we don't have them. We used to have them for a few years till the early 2000s, but power issues (I believe?) Caused them to be a failure. One day they may come back
@@thetrainman548 thanks for answer!
Awesome video as usual
Thank you Adam!
Well done !!!!
Thanks Anthony!
From Indiana
That's awesome! Hope you enjoyed!
Good work mate
Cheers Zoltan!
Great video
Thank you! I appreciate the support :)
Awesome stuff!!
Wow, thank you Jay, great to hear you enjoyed the video, it means a lot
Where do they put all the tunnel dirt?
I’m curious how it will all work and connect.
For example if you get a train from Glen Waverley how you get to Anzac
Lots and lots of connections, you would go to Flinders, then walk through to Town Hall, and take a train to Anzac
The Train Man
Yes probably. Seems strange you can’t simply change at one of the major stations
The Train Man
With flinders and Town Hall being close together, maybe there will be a way they will be connected?
@@travisfrost5175 oh yes, forgot to mention that, there is a planned underground connection between the stations, to assist people like you and me get to the tunnel!
Oooooooooh
Nice vid mate!
Cheers Wenzel, surely another vid soon
Wtf i never knew there was a taco bell in Melbourne!
It is crazy, I haven't been, but will go someday
what's your favourtive video you made train man
wow exactly 5:00
When do they start on the airport train?
Hey Michael. The Airport Rail Link is set to begin construction in 2022, and getting completed hopefully before 2030, hope you enjoyed the video!
@@thetrainman548 I did thanks... By the way, I wonder if you knew that there was a station where Federation Square is now. It was called Princes Bridge Station.
@@michaelrapson Hey, glad to hear you liked te video, I actually do know about Princes Bridge Station, in fact, I've done a video on i if you want to check it out!
@@thetrainman548 Will do.
lol while this was going on china has nearly constructed hundreds of these
That's very true, Melbourne has been very slow :)
Because China is a dictatorship and can do whatever it wants without much trouble and doesnt have the regulations we have.
@@Al-hb2wo Yeah my comment was shithouse. I was trying to say China can build a lot of railways in 10 to 20 yrs compared to a western country which can be achieve in 50 to 100 yrs. There are several reasons that China can do this so quickly.
1. Rapid Urbanisation (more people moving to cities)
2. Rapid development
3. Its dictatorship status allows it to skip the political debate and with its status, it can just build whatever it needs which is a lot of railways, highways and airports.
@@Al-hb2wo #Correction - 1.4+ Billion Population in #China
Yeah you can definitely slow down a tad you are rushing. If you listen carefully there's regular slurring caused by speaking too quickly to form the words properly and completely. The slurring will go away once you've slowed your pace enough and as such it's a good indicator to listen for.
Agreed, looking back now, the commentary isn't the greatest 😅
@@thetrainman548 Dam it, could not wait to comment. Just found your channel after looking for videos about Melbourne's geology. Yer I know. I've been watch Geoff Marshall for years, no love from the youtube algorithm . This is the train channel I've been waiting for. Watching all your vids now. You should contact the PR departments for the tunnel works., they might give you a tour and a great vid.
@Rick B Wow, thank you for your kind words, love Geoff Marshall's videos and I try to make my videos to his standard. Appreciate you watching all my videos, hope to hear from you in the future
Hey can you do a video about the Sunbury line extension?
Sunbury was once a little town. It was the gateway to Melbourne. Now it's a rabbit hole, an big part of population explosion.
Mick Carson yep there is set to be 20 thousand more houses built in Sunbury In the next 6 years
@@mapd6831
I was right, was I? There has always been this problem in Australia, greedy and profiting Estate Agencies/Shires/Councils. More land sold, more houses built, more rates there will be, more money they make. They couldn't careless where they house people as long as the times are good and there is lots of fuel to travel back and forth, increasing the likely chance that it will run out quicker. And then, how will these people go to work. I mean, what work is there for millions of people now that the industries I remember are no longer around and gone to China? See? Do they really care where they will end up, living in the bush that was my favorite place i went for, e.g. Woodstock, fishing and rabitting? I really don't understand who are they actually housing, certainly not Australians, but all the rabbits from overseas. It's a shame we had to come to this, as Sunbury will be remembered by many as a special place like Woodstock. We are losing everything for the sake of population explosion.
While they go off to work, sweating, they (Estate Agents, Banks, builders, Councils, and China), all profit. Hence the reason this scheme of throwing people in the bush works really well for these clever crooks. And then, watch the Chinese agents from local Agencies knocking on your doors and demand to sell sell sell and doing your head in. Watch the Hawkers doing the usual weekend door knocking. None of these profiters care about the future, ravaging lands and forests, not even thinking that this dry, arid continent lacks water. Can you just imagine what it will do to all these bush towns if there is another 9 or 10 year drought? We are putting ourselves in grave dangers from all this population explosion, yet nobody but myself show any concern. And then, like the COVID-19 disaster, we will all go crazy, except that it will not be a lockdown. It will be like Soylent Green, no work, no food, only biscuits made from dead humans. Have you seen the movie?
Mick Carson Sunbury used to be an amazing little town ever since the new estates have it’s turned to shit
What will be the next video?
Not too sure, have lots of ideas, will let you know though!
Do you think the tunnel should be connected to South Yarra Station?
I think the tunnel should have been connected (little late now with the entrances built south of the station), however I know it would have been near impossible to do it, seeing the angle of South Yarra and The Metro Tunnel are perpendicular to each other. Would be great to hear your thoughts and I hope you enjoyed!
@@thetrainman548 It's a missed opportunity. South Yarra is always packed to the gills during peak hours (not now of course)!
4.6 Million Passengers Annually!
Second!
Hard to follow with the 'Music' track' distracting
Thanks for the feedback, I understand the music was too loud, sorry for the inconvenience, hope you liked the video's content regardless!
Apologies for the dislike, I actually liked the vid, i just felt that with 0 dislikes, i had the opportunity to be THAT guy.
(edit) Heck i'll even subscribe!
Thanks for being that guy haha, glad you liked the video and I appreciate the sub, thanks!
Are you a member of www.reddit.com/r/MelbourneTrains? I reckon you'd like it mate.
I am now, thanks for letting me know, hope you enjoyed the vid :)
@@thetrainman548 I did very much! I never really understood it before but now I do, thank you.

Will check it out, thanks again!
@@thetrainman548 np, enjoy!
Excellent video but sadly, let down by the voice over which is robotic and monotone. Not hating. Just an observation.
Thank you for the feedback, I will take it on in future videos!
Hope they don't let China do it.
Haha, I don't really mind, just as long as it's done well. Hope you enjoyed :)
Where is the Victorian Socialist Dictatorship getting these employment figures from? A new suburb, most likely housing low income residents from foreign lands, who are quite happy to live on welfare, provided by they keep voting labor. This is SO transparent to those of us with our heads NOT buried up our arses.
You make some fair points Ross, hopefully the Govornment backs up what they're saying. Hope you enjoyed
Built by Chinese?
Not too sure about this, but I'm pretty sure that the company constructing the Metro Tunnel is Chinese. Hope you liked the video!
Why don't You admit your digging out Old tunnels. Same all over the world.
Not too sure, but hope you liked the video!
Sorry to hear you think that. I am not necessarily an expert on the project, I'm just informing people on the progression of the tunnel, not the details that some people may want.
@@thetrainman548 quality of your Vids was great. Content great too.
Thank you kindly for your efforts.
@@mattyreardon3593 Thanks Matty, I appreciate the kind words.
Haha, glad to hear that, was a little worried for a second.
