It's hardcore to see the Comengs in action still. Lot's of memories of when they used run the 3 car sets in the 80's and 90's late at night with only the first carriage with lights on doors opening. plenty of mischief back then. Great video!

@mark6858 10 ай бұрын

Yeah, I forgot about that. When I carried the staff down to the driver, the first time I saw it I thought that was a bit strange at the time.

Nice Video. Good to see an old friend again still running for the moment. I remember the day of the first run for the Comeng series. It had orange lines on the side with the old Vicrail logo didn’t seem that much time that it changed to the Met green as we did with our uniforms. This was the first time we ever had an air-conditioned train in service. You could smell the newness and from memory the carpet was a brown colour that looked really nice, nothing like something brand new and so clean. Watching the trains come and go you had to wait a while to see another of the new Comeng trains as we only had one for the line and it had to go to Melbourne and back. The Hitachi Trains were nice when they came out too, really comfortable, but you were locked in a metal train and in summertime it was sooo hot for the passengers. At least you could open the windows. Could you imagine passengers today siting in a non-air-condition train day in day out during the summer. Freezing in the cold with no heating. They did that for decades. Then the new trains came out with heating and cooling. With the red swing doors train you had to shut the door but with the Tait train and Harris trains everybody always left the doors open, no closing doors in those days. Once a gentleman went to get off the train thinking he was at the station, it was thick fog, but he was not at a station, as the train stopped at a signal, he jumped off a Bridge. That can never happen again now thank goodness.

let's now nickname this set the MVP!!! Honestly the repair really was unexpected. Thankfully could still catch a few of em a few months ago. Hope to get more in the future before they're completely gone but it's very challenging by then unless you're a regular commuter

People are stupid. They go through when the lights are going. It's their fault

@xymaryai8283 10 ай бұрын

yeah, the types to run the red light at a normal intersection because it looks safe, but they forget that the red lights at a level crossing aren't a suggestion, its backed up by tons of thundering steel that will not avoid you. trains can't swerve. there is no mercy.

as a person who always uses the Yarraville line, it can be very dangerous because of how close the trains get to the crossing !

I think on your right hand side of the front carriage of EDI Comeng 514M there is a little bit of black paintings that is covering the connex livery after damage.

Heard about the Spotswood level crossing removal, hopefully Yarraville comes soon too, but with current regulations I bet they're having a difficult time figuring out a way to make straight platforms possible at Yarraville due to space constraints

EDIs will be withdrawn from when the first X'Trapolis 2.0 train enters service, so probably have around 12 months left yet before the withdrawals and scrapping starts again.

@aidanthomas2510 10 ай бұрын

The one good thing about Anderson St is it's quite a narrow street, thus doesn't see a lot of traffic and when it does it's usually not travelling at speed. The trains most certainly are though.

That's the straightest looking curvy platform I've ever seen! The particular problem there is the level crossing and express service combination. Sounding the horn at that speed is pointless.

@DanielDiaz-um1xd 10 ай бұрын

The level crossing is due to be completely closed, cars will have to cross the line via a bridge to the north or underpass to the south (which already exist)
