On the Hurstbridge Line as of 2018, the level crossing at Lower Plenty Road, Rosanna was removed by building a skyrail with a new elevated Rosanna Station, which also included track duplication between Rosanna and Heidelberg and the level crossing removal at Grange Road, Alphington by lowering the rail corridor beneath the road into a rail trench. 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. Diamond Creek Station got upgraded and Montmorency and Greensborough Stations got completely rebuilt. Now they are planning to remove the level crossing at Ruthven Street, Macleod by 2027 by building a skyrail over the road. Also the rail tunnel under Greensborough Highway in Watsonia will be extended a few hundred metres longer by 2028 and there will be a multi-deck car park built at Watsonia Station also by 2028 as part of the North East Link.
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 Murray Road, Cramer Street, Bell Street and Oakover Road in Preston were removed by building a 2 km skyrail with 2 new elevated stations at Bell and Preston. Now under construction, is the level crossing removal at Keon Parade, Keon Park which will be removed by 2025 by building a 750 m skyrail with a new elevated Keon Park Station.
The Metro Tunnel is on track to be completed by 2025 and it will have the Sunbury, Cranbourne and East Pakenham Lines running through it. Also it will have direct airport connection via the Melbourne Airport Rail Link by 2029. There is also the Suburban Rail Loop which is a 90 km rail line from Cheltenham to Werribee via Melbourne Airport. It’s still 3 decades away from completion, but half of it from Cheltenham to Melbourne Airport will be underground with SRL driverless trains.
This reminds me of those 'slow television' specials, showing train journeys on The Ghan and The Indian Pacific. What if one was made about journeys on Melbourne's different train lines?

I just discovered this while looking for something else. The driver wouldn't be my nephew Peter W. by any chance? Great to see our track from the driver's point of view! I'm off to check all the other video clips ;-)
David Burden piss off, we Victorians don't care 'bout speed, like Jim says, look at the scenery! metro isn't a high speed company, they're all about getting people to where they want to be! Japan can go and suck it up, their government is ruining nature and we got our beautiful gum trees, eucalyptus, ferns, etc. trust me, your making a big mistake. i just wanted to point out here that you don't mess with us Aussies, either.

273M was one half of the set used on the farwell tour I'm pretty sure

This line is going to be double track soon

I've been subscribed to you for years, and its only recently you're been uploading again, lol. Good stuff.
The horn is dead of this comeng copy
Good job I like this.
I have never seen what it looks like before.
I just discovered this while looking for something else. The driver wouldn't be my nephew Peter W. by any chance? Great to see our track from the driver's point of view! I'm off to check all the other video clips ;-)
It's lovely out that way!
Arrr the Hitachi horn is Terrible it sounds like the Oldest Horns! But in the Outside, Is Better.
Very slow Japan is faster
We are much more laid back here! Look at the scenery!
David Burden piss off, we Victorians don't care 'bout speed, like Jim says, look at the scenery! metro isn't a high speed company, they're all about getting people to where they want to be! Japan can go and suck it up, their government is ruining nature and we got our beautiful gum trees, eucalyptus, ferns, etc. trust me, your making a big mistake. i just wanted to point out here that you don't mess with us Aussies, either.
