Sadly much of our industry as James mentioned was decimated due to bad government policy of which both the big parties can share the blame . I'm retired now but worked in different industries over the decades, the majority of which have all gone bankrupt or left the country because it was just too hard to make a buck in Australia due to bad policy by government and huge costs to industry. One of the major industries we had was the car manufacturing industry that put a lot of benefit in to the country , not only with masses of jobs , but also a vast variety of jobs fron lower skill level workers to engineers , draughtsmen , metal workers , and masses of spin off companys dotted around the country that made components ........ You know before we lost our manufacturing and became reliant on China ! I remember our politicians saying they wanted us to become a trading nation , in ohher words they were quite happy to lose our manufacturing. I worked in the motor trade back in the 70's , we had ford , holden , chrysler, toyota , nissan , leyland and others that actually built cars in Australia , for Australians , they used Aussie component suppliers for the most part , they used Aussie steel in the car bodies , and back in early days , you could keave school go and work in a car plant , get married , have a family buy a car and house and retire, and chances are your kids had a job at the car plant too , those days are gone , 99% of those car plants went belly up or left the country for greener pastyres because it was too dam hard to make a buck here, because nearly every year local manufacturers where handicapped while importers where incentivised, and that all started with the john button plan .

Instead of using the 100 year old signalling system, we can instead use modern "High Capacity Signalling" so that can run trains closer together. The old trains are not equipped with the equipment required for the new signalling system and it is easier to just buy new trains than to refit all of them. The HCMT's can be made 4 carraiges longer than our usual trains because the Metro Tunnel Supports trains longer than the City Loop and the rest of the network does. To increase safety we can add Platform Screen Doors, which can only line up to one type of train. The Metro Tunnel does not need to be a general purpose railway tunnel because Freight Trains, V/Line, Older metro trains etc will never need to use it as they can easily go around it via Flinders. Therefore we can tailor the tunnel and the HCMT's that compliment it to do the one job they are designed to do more efficiently by not bothering with the century old standards that govern our railway network

[@ivanfilippov6374]

Why is everyone making a huge deal out of this all of a sudden? It's been in the plans since day one of the Metro Tunnel that only HCMT trains will go into the tunnel. The disadvantage is that it decreases flexibility, the advantage is that it means the new trains and the metro tunnel don't need to be confined by the antiquated design of the 150 year old train network we have. Firstly: Platform Screen Doors wouldn't work with our other trains. The Comeng's, Siemens, X'trapolis and HCMT trains all have different door arrangements that don't line up with each other. Therefore if we want Platform screen doors, then we can only pick one train for the doors to line up with. Secondly: Signalling. Our network has been using Automatic Block Signalling for over a century. It was decided to use the Modern CBTC signalling instead (What the government likes to call "High Capacity Signalling") to increase capacity. It would be very difficult and expensive to refit all the Siemens and X'trapolis trains with CBTC and basically impossible to refit the 50 year old Comeng's with CTBC. Thirdly: The HCMT's can't go anywhere else in the network because they are too long. The Pakenham/Cranbourne/Sunbury lines have all been modified to support the 7-10 Carriage HCMT's. Whereas the rest of the network only support up to 6-Carriage trains. It was a deliberate decision to design a dedicated train fleet for the Metro Tunnel so that the new tunnel and new trains can be designed using modern technology without needing to confine to the rest of our ancient train network. Sacrificing Flexibility gives us more Capacity. Just like how the new Sydney Metro wasn't designed with the old double decker trains in mind. These journalists that know nothing about trains or railways found some random thing to clamp onto and start making outrage about. Instead how about asking anyone who knows something about how trains work or read the Business Case for the Metro Tunnel which outlined exactly why they decided not to support other train types.

Why did we need platform screen doors? We have managed quite well without them before this. There are may major systems in the world that work quite well without them. Without them we could run any train type on the line. Then they opt for an orphan signaling system just for this line, when the trains still have to run on lines that are not equipped with that system to get to this line. Also without this signaling system we could run any train type on the line. As for building HCMT that are limited as to where they can run, did it never occur to the government to simply run more standard trains? Then to build this line with no direct interchange with any other city stations, including Southern Cross. It just beggars belief.

[@smedleyfarnsworth263]

[@ivanfilippov6374]

@smedleyfarnsworth263 PSD's increase safety, there have been a few incidents with people falling on tracks and the trespassers that we often get. If you don't think it's worth it, fair enough. The HCMT's can use both the old ABS and new CBTC signalling. CBTC is only active between West Footscray and Clayton (via metro tunnel) so outside of that they still use the old signalling system. And other trains will never need to run into the metro tunnel. The 70 HCMT's are more then enough for the Pakenham/Cranbourne/Sunbury lines, when it is time to replace them then we will design a train that can run into the metro tunnel. And if a freight train or out of service train needs to get from Sunbury to Pakenham, they will still be able to take the route via Flinders Street. The X'traplis 2.0 is the solution to "more standard trains" as its job will be to replace Comeng's on the Cragieburn/Upfield/Frankston lines. Also not all of our trains can run anywhere, the X'trapolis 1.0 cannot run passengers on Cragieburn/Upfield/Pakenham/Cranbourne/Sandringham. The Siemens cannot run passengers on any lines going through Burnley. As a side note, the HCMT's can be reduced to 6-Carriage sets so that they can fit on other lines. However the government decided on X'trapolis 2.0 instead to keep the Ballarat Train Factory which builds them open, as Alstom probably threatened to close shop if they didn't get a new order The "no direct interchange" is just false Town Hall Station directly interchanges with Flinders Street. State Library station directly interchanges with Melbourne Central station. They have different names because Metro Trains Melbourne and the 000 responders wanted them to be easily distinguishable.

[@66secularist]

I'm no defender of the Victorian government (quite the opposite really) but development of the HCMT train sets, which will exclusively use the metro tunnel, went hand in hand with development of the metro tunnel. They were specifically built for it, with higher passenger capacity on the higher passenger demand feeder lines. This is no new revelation. Yes it limits interoperability but people will not have to change trains when entering or exiting the tunnel unless changing onto another line. It's similar to Sydney where only Sydney Metro trains can operate on the Metro network. Where Victoria really cocked up is the Murray Basin rail project. It was only half done after blowing its budget and left a bigger problem than what itv was supposed to fix.
