Which Metro train is the easiest to drive in your opinion?

[@driver667]

I always enjoyed driving the Comeng trains but the Siemens were good to drive also. Been a number of years now since I've driven a Metro train though. 👍😀

31:50 Steel train

[@JordysRailVideos]

​@@driver667I'm surprised that there's no one under the PID on platform 2 at 5:09 since the person in question usually gets the Steel train

[@KadenBarker-wt3dd]

still strange to think that frankston still has the old shunt signals

[@driver667]

It's nice to see the old signalling and signal box still in place at Frankston. Amazing its survived. 👍😀

[@Darththorn]

Do V/Line drivers drive Metro trains as well when required?

[@xx.isabella]

I'd presume not, different companies, different specialisations. But I don't doubt that someone could work for both

[@driver667]

@@Darththorn we only work for the one company nowadays. But my camera likes to travel around. 👍😀

I realise I don't know everything (almost, but not quite), but I thought a Metro was a mainly an undrground-ish, subway-ish kind of arrangement, as opposed to an EMU suburban commuter rail.🤔 No?

[@xx.isabella]

Nah lol, the train lines I use to go home have maybe one singular underground station excluding the city loop stations (Pakenham/Cranbourne lines)

[@Darththorn]

It’s only really underground in the city loop and the new metro tunnel, most of it is on ground or elevated.

[@ashpeake2426]

In this case, ‘Metro’ is the company name of the trains. Not a classification of spec

[@martythemartian99]

Thanks everyone. Now I do know everything.😁

[@roscozone8092]

The Wikipedia page for “Metro Trains Melbourne” may help to clarify. In this case, ‘Metro’ is just a brand name.
