This is amazing! I think most of us wanted the stations upgraded like this one. I mean well this is awesome that it’s finally 2 tracks instead of 1 (After Lynbrook). It caused delays at Lynbrook because of the stupidly 1 track, but this is better then 1 track.
Thanks for the tour of the new station and some of the trains going through. I was amazed at how some of the trains had heaps of motors or looked like a "plethora" of pantographs up top?
Oddly enough there were only two HCMT's on the line on the day of filming. The Pakenham line was shut down at the time so with no access to the Pakenham East depot where the fleet is primarily based out of. I've heard that during normal times there are a fair few HCMT's around on the Cranbourne/Pakenham lines.
It would be alright if the grade was on the Flinders Street End. It would allow departing trains to use the grade to help in acceleration and arriving trains use the grade to help slow them down and reduce brake wear. Oh well it is what it is i suppose. It still is a fantastic clip to watch nonetheless.
Awesome video when the new HCMT trains be on Mernda line soon because long time ago it was a lot of Comeng trains on that line from early 2000's to late 2012 and Comeng trains is no longer on that line now just xtrapolis?
There's no specific proposals at the time being to extend the line further east to Clyde, however with the duplication now complete doing so would now be much easier as the line now has additional capacity to operate extra trains reliably. I wouldn't be surprised if a promise is announced in the near future with the state election around the corner in November.
One of my favourite stations I’ve been to. It’s really nice looking and best of all, it’s only a 5 min drive
the station is rlly fancy :)
its so modern as well! took some photos of trains there

Wow I didn’t know Merinda Park Station got rebuilt.
They put a rather big screen at merinda park to display one station, is the intention to extend the line to Clyde still?
As a reminder we are Duplication at the newest merinda park railway station
I thought it would be comengs would be displaced but apparently no wow

Ok so when is the Cranbourne line finally going to be extended out to Clyde via Cranbourne East as they've been promising forever?

@@ThebusofdoomFSX I'll believe it when it happens.
Looks as if the mooted 10.car sets aren't going to be accommodated with these platforms.
any pigeons :)
