Unique Melbourne Train Movements

Hello and welcome to my channel. I am a train enthusiast located in Victoria, Australia and just want to share some of my journeys with UA-cam. Please feel free to Comment your opinions and Subscribe to my channel :)
In this video, we take a look at some unique and uncommon train movements on Melbourne's Metro network. Mostly Metro Trains but also some Diesel Trains feature. No doubt the highlight of the video is an X’Trapolis Train making its way from the Down Sandringham Track at Richmond Junction to the Down Burnley Local Track. Hope you enjoy the video!

A movement I've only seen once was trains using the crossover at Footscray p3 (now p5) to head back towards the suburbs. Happened during works years back.
Also around 99-00 caught a Sandringham from p14 at flinders, had to cross over the entire junction to arrive p2 Richmond

On HCMT lines the signals are supposed to be off, they only turn on for a non cab signaling train like freight or vline

[@justinwright4833]

Two questions: one, why did these unique movements even occur? And two, how do u find out about it so u can film it?

[@StrayaTrains]

Various reasons and magic

[@justinwright4833]

@StrayaTrains magic 😭💀
I'm guessing u must have some connections with drivers or something

[@Nevergonnagiveyouup504]

ok nice

[@mihailoarsic5716]

👍

[@emmaandthediamonds8705]

i saw the first one by coincidence! im guessing it’s running tests for the xtrap 2.0?

[@StrayaTrains]

Just a track inspection. Nothing to do with X'Trap 2.0 :)

[@nator1]

also i saw a railroad metro train on the cragieburn line

[@flynnbop]

did you hear about the xtrap 2.0 at craigieburn depot?

[@tonnyyyyyyyyy2]

Lol i did

[@nator1]

is there one there?

[@Jayhocksenar-x1k]

What now?

[@StrayaTrains]

No. What happened?

[@Ryzi03]

The XTrap 2.0s are being built and assembled in Ballarat not Craigieburn, it'll just be the mockup from the open days that's been transported to Craigieburn

[@4rkang31]

How do you catch these?!

[@StrayaTrains]
