Trains at Richmond (2013) - Metro Trains

In this video we see some Metro trains at Richmond, a major interchange station that serves as the junction for the Burnely and Caulfield group of lines. It also serves as an interchange point for direct services to and from Flinders Street and the City Loop, and is also situated next to Melbourne's sporting precinct serving the Melbourne Cricket Ground, AAMI Park, Hisence Arena and Rod Laver Arena.
Recorded just before the start of the afternoon peak in January 2013 we see all four types of EMU's that were running on the network at the time; Hitachi's, both types of Comeng trains, Siemens and X'trapolis.
Since filming this video there's been a number of changes. Firstly the Hitachi EMU has been retired. Secondly all the trains received the Public Transport Victoria logos. Thirdly Richmond station has undergone an upgrade with additional shelters installed on the platforms and the ramps on the western side of the station.
Date: 18th January 2013.

Surprised that when I caught an xtrapolis on a flinderstreet service it still had a metlink sticker on it on the front/back depends which way it’s going I guess 875M-1638T-876M) on the set that’s connected to this

Mont albert station still has met link on its signs

This video contains footage of what the MCG end of Richmond Station used to look like before the exit subways had roofs built over the top of them. Great memories! Not only that I was unaware that Hitachi trains were still running in 2013, given that the Farewell To The Hitachis day was run by Steamrail Victoria in April 2014.

Nice vid, at the Level Crossing Removal Authority's Murrumbeena shop there is a SkyRail model made of Lego with working trains, this model was made by the same people who made the Lego of Heatherdale station

I've seen some photos of it and it looks pretty neat. I haven't got the time to see it in person at the moment though.
