METRONET C-Series Railcars

[@stefanhofmann2521]

RIP Iconic Transperth Seats.

[@mags3932]

Stefan - TravelFlow They will keep it what your seeing is just indicative design purposes only but maybe they will have like that but add the history bits to it I think

[@dreamingfoxtrot]

Hopefully our current trains will still service us still. (Series-A and Series-B)

[@jnf_media_]

@@dreamingfoxtrot The B Series definitely will. The A Series might only be for extra services when needed.

[@CrazyAyce1]

These new trains look amazing and comfy

[@jaiacosta6025]

They look great. The only thing I would change is the front to front seats. It'll be awkward to travel half an hour looking at a stranger face to face.

[@aero1824]

Can't wait to ride on these , sadly the A series is retiring from the fleet and all A series lines will be replaced by B series

[@lxcy.]

But, hey, there's now room for even better improvements on the spaced out lines, like making them faster!

[@perthtransportguyz]

Really but they've done all this work and delayed the old liners they should get the c sets

[@whoslucaas]

@@perthtransportguyz only the joondalup / mandurah can use c series rail cars because theyre 6 car sets and the other lines can only use up to 4

[@perthtransportguyz]

@@whoslucaas but they're extending platforms at Maryland's (E Perth basendean already have 6 car ) and the rest will be extended

[@lachlanmills]

"Next Station: Yanchep" - not from the Perth Station!

[@alex_111.]

Maybe it’s an express train line pattern in the future. It could also be as an example.

[@dreamingfoxtrot]

It just says that for people to see it’s next route. Or maybe it’s a different pattern.

[@rebecca3107]

I will miss be the last stop, but I happy for Yanchep.

[@Jahangir_Hossain_CA]

THANK YOU NO MORE MIDDLE POLES

[@lithomie5275]

We all in 2019 while metronet in 2022 already

[@bigmichaelcollins10]

It's about time some one listened to me and got rid of those bloody poles in the middle of the door ways. Now people in Wheelchairs & people with prams will be able to get on & off the train without crashing into the pole or getting caught in the doors because you have to go so slow.

[@oscarl-b8870]

nice

[@lynxafr1ca_717]

A series, my best friend

[@manikantapadala7905]

Excellent

[@OrnumCR]

Oooooh....fancy! I miss looking at nice modern rolling stock that Perth has. The equipment that PTV uses in Melbourne is nothing on Transperth.

[@Hazza4257]

The Siemens especially are soo ugly

[@mags3932]

They look worse than New York’s.

[@charleshinson5050]

where are the straps from the top for people standing to hold on

[@jasgri777]

Just do the train dance 🕺

[@wronk3172]

Snazzy

[@ArrowProds]

Metronet, I know this is a bit late, but could we keep the iconic Transperth Trains moquette?

[@mags3932]

[@Trainaddiction512]

The animation dosen't even include the full livery of the real one...

[@Trainaddiction512]

*No Offence*

[@Auxodium]

Australinds will be similar. Why wont that service travel time be reduced?

[@RingLordSonic]

I really want technical plans of this whole train as I really want to make a lego version of it pls.

[@CursoryMercenary]

Looks great but it should go faster than the current trains.

[@chopping_board]

the existing rail and small distances between stations makes it so that its a no point expense to make them go fasteer

[@ryanb5684]

Rip carpit

[@RingLordSonic]

My next Lego project

[@drewkato]

when will they be arriving

[@xxtommygunxx6760]

From what I’ve heard 2022

[@metronetperth]

Hi Drew, the first trains are expected to be operating in 2022. Thanks!

[@matthurlston443]

@@metronetperth will the airport be done by then

[@metronetperth]

Hi @@matthurlston443, the Forrestfield-Airport Link is scheduled to be operational in the second half of 2021. Thanks.

[@Kcritchett87]

What is the route?

[@locomotiveproductions]

It'll be running on the Mandruh and Joonalup line with the B series. The A and B series will share the Fremantle, Forestfield, Armadale/Cockburn Central, Midland, Future Ellenbrooke line before the A series retires

[@jasonhowe1697]

may be retrofit the older electrics with the same bar work unless they are to be retired and sold off?? the bigger question I got when are we going to see proper lifts across the entirety of the network to where we can have high capacity mobility aids service the lifts All stations need to comply with lift access including mciver I would also voice the opinion of adding diesel electric hybrids within metro services given how flaky the rails cantenary electric grid is.. If we are going to 6 car service models may be consider light rail options.. because at some point we need to consider a universal rolling stock options where we replace the whole inner city bus fleet and do a fleet of mega stations on traditional rail networks with options of running light rail through some city streets and down major freeways, highways and byways of metro areas.. going for low slung cars would likely improve rail services to the bush the stupidity of current entry and exit procedures on country rail makes it dangerous current ramp solution might be okay for wheel chair not suitable for anything with a battery or motor the ramp system carry-on is and was never designed to mobility aids such as gophers and so forth on country .. 2 choices exist.. either modify the platforms completely or go the route or add and regrade the existing infrastructure and placing the rolling stock that can run door systems close to the ground.. this will need to happen if you want to cater for a lot of people on these mobility aids access the entirety of the WA networkmay be also consider this options on the ghan and indian pacific and rail services into vic and QLD

[@chopping_board]

first of all, that would be extremely disruptive and certainly go over budget requiring you to replace every single station with a low to the ground one, rendering existing rollingstock useless, which isn't feasible based on the fact that the trains are heavy rail and comply to an entrance to the train height standard, going on your plan we wouldnt have any trains for 5-6 years, as that's how long itd take to rebuild every single station and order and then produce more trains

[@jasonhowe1697]

@@chopping_board it might be disruptive in the city however in the country it would likely be a better outcome.. though my point still stands for a complete retro grade approach to put in the new platforms to a new standard they will have to shut down the midland line to install the 4-6 rail network... though at some point we are going to have to deploy the some form of light rail or low rail car network in WA and have it applied to the whole rail network as we can't go to half measures when it comes to delivering transport options for the disabled sector of the service of the community .. there is already going to be a disruption on the rail network with sky railing it to remove level crossings

[@mikenolzeynolan4635]

Hopefully i dont lose my license again , otherwise u will see me on that train 😐

[@RXTransit]

Good, ditch the car
