[@thelionking219]

On the South Morang Line as of 2018, the Mernda Rail Extension from South Morang to Mernda was completed and it included 3 new stations at Middle Gorge, Hawkstowe and Mernda. Middle Gorge Station was built on ground level and Hawkstowe and Mernda Stations were built above ground with skyrail. And that train line is now called the Mernda Line. And as of 2019, the level crossing at High Street, Reservoir was removed by building a 1 km skyrail with a new elevated Reservoir Station. Then as of 2022, the 4 level crossings at Murray Road, Cramer Street, Bell Street and Oakover Road in Preston were removed by building a 2 km skyrail with 2 new elevated stations at Bell and Preston. Now under construction, is the level crossing removal at Keon Parade, Keon Park which will be removed by 2025 by building a 750 m skyrail with a new elevated Keon Park Station.

On the Hurstbridge Line as of 2018, the level crossing at Lower Plenty Road, Rosanna was removed by building a skyrail with a new elevated Rosanna Station, which also included track duplication between Rosanna and Heidelberg and the level crossing removal at Grange Road, Alphington by lowering the rail corridor beneath the road into a rail trench. And as of 2023, the Hurstbridge Line Duplication was completed which included around 3 kms of duplicated tracks between Greensborough and Eltham and around 1.5 kms between Diamond Creek and Wattle Glen. Around 4.5 kms of track duplication in total between Greensborough and Hurstbridge. Diamond Creek Station got upgraded and Montmorency and Greensborough Stations got completely rebuilt. Now they are planning to remove the level crossing at Ruthven Street, Macleod by 2027 by building a skyrail over the road.

13:32 "Maybe there should be some shops..." Cannington Carousel: Anyway, great video and much more stable and vivid train clips than mine.

The Metro Tunnel is on track to be completed by 2025 and it will have the Sunbury, Cranbourne and East Pakenham Lines running through it. Also it will have direct airport connection via the Melbourne Airport Rail Link by 2029. There is also the Suburban Rail Loop which is a 90 km rail line from Cheltenham to Werribee via Melbourne Airport. It’s still 3 decades away from completion, but half of it from Cheltenham to Melbourne Airport will be underground with SRL driverless trains.

12:47 NH! I can't believe this, us perth people are waiting decades to find one of these beauties and the man who comes from melbourne some how finds a NH

[@ThebusofdoomFSX]

The thing is another O405NH with a Volgren CR226L body also rocked up on another driver training run. Unfortunately I wasn't paying attention so I wasn't able to film it :'(

[@WesternAustralianTransport]

@@ThebusofdoomFSX What a CR226L body, Can't be why would it be at Cannington when Cannington routes are run by Path Transit and Swan Transit only and all the CR226L bodies are run by Transdev.

[@ThebusofdoomFSX]

@@WesternAustralianTransport it was definitely a CR226L on driver training. It had the small square headlights and a shorter wheelbase. Who knows what it was doing there.

TP1566, 1567, 1568 and 1724 have re-entered service to fill in for 10 OC500LEs at Bayswater depot undergoing repairs. The next time they enter service will most likely be the Mandurah line shutdown at the end of this month and very early next year.

6:33 That weird thing flying in the distance- ITS A WHITE IBIS

[@psychedelicprawncrumpets9479]

I live in cannington. You're correct it is annoying how out of the way the station is. Everything is a 10 minute walk away to get to Westfield and all the other businesses.. That area will be developed more in coming yrs though as you can probably tell by all the work that's starting around there. Remember Perth has only got 2.3 million people compared to Melbournes 5 million so it has to fill out a bit more yet

[@victorianvlogzooooooo]

Cannington yeahhh
