@Romerjon17 hahaha yeh only very rarely now! Mostly if a service is delayed BIG TIME or for extra services like i said. But its good to see them running! They are getting scrapped soon!!
I tell you anyways! There is no link! But I might find something! Anyways, their getting scrapped cause they are VERY old and have passed their used by date! There is only 7 left!
From wikipedia ---> "The Hitachi (also known as Martin & King or Stainless Steel[1][2]) was an electric multiple unit that operated on the Melbourne suburban railway network between 1972 and 2014. Electrical equipment was supplied by Commonwealth Engineering to designs by Hitachi of Japan, leading to their official name today, though no actual Hitachi-supplied components were used in their construction. They were the last suburban trains in Melbourne with no air conditioning. A total of 355 carriages were built between 1972 and 1981, including a replacement carriage for one written off while the fleet was still being delivered."
