Melbourne Upfield Line

[@Calamari-m8d]

I got very confused in the 2024 highlights because I had no idea when you filmed Melbourne.

[@killeranime3591]

34:45 kinda coincidental you mentioned the lack of fencing then 8 days later being today I posting this comment I saw a news report someone got hit by a train around here due to the lack of fencing has well no boom gates, alarms or train horns

[@Perthtrainplanevlogs]

sed the Upfield Line to Royal Park via the loop on a Comeng, so it was such a nice experience as a visitor. Edit:I also watch Taitset

[@Gauger1212]

Tbf to Melbourne, Perth has a much newer network because there wasn't much railway coverage in a large area of Perth (north and south). Whereas Melbourne has much larger coverage with it's legacy railways leaving Melbourne with more lines to upgrade to modern standards. Also little fun fact if you only include legacy lines, Melbourne has less level crossings per line then Perth. Melbourne could really upgrade their stations though (and they have been particularly in the south)

[@TransportofPerth]

@@Gauger1212 How is there less per line? The Midland and Fremantle Lines have like 5 each, how is that more than Melbourne?

[@Gauger1212]

@@TransportofPerth I was calculating the average amount of level crossings after Metronet and LXRP (so far). Perth has 3 legacy lines with 19 level crossing ( I think some sources say 20), Melbourne has sixteen legacy lines (excluding the stony point line) with 65 level crossings left after LXRP. The averages for both cities are 6.33 for Perth and 4.06 for Melbourne. The Armadale line really skews the results as that line still has a lot of level crossings left whilst Melbourne after LXRP will have a few legacy lines level crossing free.

Welcome to Melbourne. Please ensure you have 2 litres of Coffee every 12 hours (Melbourne tip)

Correct

[@flynnthomas806]

I think they also sometimes run Siemens trains on the northern lines.

[@Devstep]

Belgrave and Lilydale trains runs express during weekdays but they run all stations except east Richmond during off peak and on weekends

[@Devstep]

The northern group serves by comeng and Siemens

[@Clippy56]

taitset refrence???????

[@Revilok08]

Yeah you can probably tell from this video, the northern suburbs are definitely a bit more rougher the the north eastern and eastern suburbs and a similar thing goes by the train lines. As for these old trains, they are already in the process of being scraped, partially thanks to the HCMTs but also the new Xtrapolis 2.0s with the first one arriving for testing at the end of 2024!! Looking forward to the melb vids mark. Plus will you do all train vids then all trams or will you alternate?

[@TransportofPerth]

@Revilok08 I did not film all tram routes even though I did take them all so there will just be a few random videos in between the train videos.

[@JamesParadiso]

It looks like you're riding on the Armidale I line early at least you experience elevated rail

[@ThomasWhiteside-o5o]

I am in the south side of Melbourne

[@comeng442M]

So which line was your favourite?

[@TransportofPerth]

@comeng442M I'd say the Belgrave or Williamstown Lines.

[@comeng442M]

@ good choice. My personal favourite would have to be Hurstbridge

[@Devstep]

Fun fact for the upfield line it becomes a craigieburn service

[@Ak47Ak47-c4p]

The 975 is like the old

[@TransportofPerth]

@@Ak47Ak47-c4p I know I filmed the new section before it got changed back for the last time.

[@swanman1984.]

When you do the Sunbury line that was my line when I lived there, Digger's Rest was my station. Most Melbourne stations are pretty run down, a friend of mine is a train driver there.

[@tangiers365]

Theyre going to build two new stations around Diggers Rest

[@swanman1984.]

@tangiers365 hopefully between Watergardens

[@tangiers365]

9:50 That was nearly great footage, but unfortunately those people with the dog turned it into something disgusting. Once more, at 15:45.
