Flinders Street - Dandenong on a Siemens - Metro Trains Melbourne

In this video we take a ride onboard a Metro Trains Melbourne Siemens EMU on the Cranbourne/Pakenham lines between Flinders Street and Dandenong. This particular train is operating a Dandenong service towards the end of the morning peak, stopping all stations from Flinders Street to Dandenong, with the exception between South Yarra and Caulfield where we run express.
Along the way we ride along the various sections of Skyrail, which consists of three sections of elevated concrete viaducts along the line completed in 2018 to remove nine level crossings between Caulfield and Dandenong. This resulted in Carnegie, Murrumbeena, Hughesdale, Clayton, and Noble Park stations being rebuilt. There's a number of other modernised stations along the line, with Westall being upgraded in 2010, Springvale being grade separated in 2014, and Oakleigh recently upgraded.
The Siemens trains entered service between 2003 - 2006 and were ordered by National Express to replace their fleet of Hitachi trains on their half of the network during the early days of privatisation. Along with the 1980's Comeng EMU, the Siemens fleet have been operating along the Cranbourne and Pakenham lines for many years. However these trains will shortly be displaced from these lines; replaced with new High Capacity Metro Trains which are currently entering service on these lines.

Nice, seems like a rare service, is it one?

[@breemsp591]

Not really been seeing more frequently than the comengs. Although not for too much longer though.

@@breemsp591 okay thank you

Comeng and Siemens are already extinct, I filmed at Dandenong and there were no Comeng’s or Siemens

[@aidanthomas2510]

They are around if you wait long enough, I was at Carnegie the other day and was lucky enough to be able to get a Comeng home. Siemens I'm not sure about, I'm sure there is an odd one but probably not many. Granted this is an old video judging by that yellow cleaning sticker still being on the door, and yes it is mostly HCMT's now sadly.

High capacity are really common on the pakenham lines, the comeng is not hard to find on the pakeham and cranbourne lines if you wait, the siemen trains are really rare.
