🔊🚆 All You Can Hear Alstom Metropolis, Xtrapolis & Trains! 🚆🔊 - GTO-VVVF to Alstom Onix to Optonix

The first of the compilation of train videos, this covers all Alstom Metropolis, Alstom Metropolis and other older rolling stock motor sounds. This video showcases the progression of technology from the older and musical GTO-VVVF traction control system, then to the IGBT-VVVF Alstom Onix, and more recently the Shanghai Alstom supplied Alstom Optonix traction control.

[Update on Incorrect Pitch]: An investigation found that the frame rate was exported too low, causing the lower pitch. The video editing software has limitations on the frame rates we are allowed to be exported. We managed some sort of a fix for future videos for now, but perhaps when we manage to afford to acquire an Adobe Premiere Pro license that would a long-term solution. Thank you for your patience!

I like the Alstom Metropolis 98B. It’s the one in Warsaw and it makes a similar sound to a New York subway train.

[@AndrewG1989]

I like the Jubilee Line 1996 Stock. It’s got that nice spaceship sound when it accelerates fast. The Northern Line 1995 Stock isn’t that bad as well.

[@bb-3653]

The northen lines vvvf thingy is boring by comparison, but they have the same motor sound more or less though

[@tamworthtrainnut285]

1:53 The train in this scene is a Sydney Trains suburban Millennium (M set) train which entered service around the early 2000's in Sydney, These trains operate on the T5 Cumberland line from Richmond to Leppington, T3 Bankstown line from Lidcombe to Liverpool via the City circle, T6 Carlingford line (now closed) from Clyde to Carlingford, T2 Inner West and Leppington line from Parramatta to Leppington via the City circle and the T8 Airport and South line from Macarthur to Campbelltown via Sydney Airport

Now that Alstom and Bombardier are merging, do you think that the merged Alstom will keep both Onix and Mitrac or will the new Alstom discontinue either Mitrac or Onix?

[@sgbuses]

I guess they will put it to what the customer wants. Both are popular and have big clients, so Alstom will want to keep parts for both.

[@Lodai974]

Yes and Busan Line 2 no??But they aren't Metropolis train,in any case, not all...they are Koreean trains with GEC-Alstom Inverters GTO VVVF. The subject is "metropolis metros" which uses only VVVF Alstom (GEC Alstom)... this explains the absence of the metro from Seoul ... moreover the creator of the video has surely not yet been to Korea (from Australia ). He has not yet been able to go to Paris which uses Metropolis trains and other models which uses GEC Alstom inverters I hope it will go soon. Some of our trains are real singers especially the GTO VVVF^^

I know, my favorite motors are DC motors with brushes and commutators

[@sgbuses]

[@sgbuses]

It's really hard to ride any trains still with Alsthom DC motors on (unless you are referring to the GEC ones). Interestingly, the C751 (North-East MRT Line) was listed as Alstom ONIX IGBT-VVVF despite sounding like a GTO.

[@ChristPrimus]

In france, I accidentally find a rare DC motor driven Alstom train (GEC-type alstom train) on Some paris metro lines, If you watch Godzilla C200's Dark Gaia Error video, then you hear the old DC-motor driven GEC-type Alstom train's sound at the CODE Entering scene of the Dark Gaia Error, that sound is recorded by me, and I give that audio to Godzilla C200
