MELBOURNE’S NEXT GENERATION SEVEN-CAR TRAINS WILL PROGRESSIVELY ENTER SERVICE FOLLOWING THE COMPREHENSIVE TESTING PROGRAM, OPERATING FIRST ON THE CRANBOURNE AND PAKENHAM LINES, AND LONGER TERM WILL RUN THROUGH THE NEW METRO RAIL TUNNEL TO SUNBURY.
"Melbourne’s High Capacity Metro Trains project is not only the largest single order of new trains in Victoria’s history, but also the first new train design in nearly 20 years."
The Victorian Government ordered 65 High Capacity Metro Trains as part of a $2.3 billion investment, which also includes a new train maintenance facility in Pakenham East and a light service facility in Calder Park.
An additional $123 million will deliver five new trains to service the Melbourne Airport Rail Link, bringing the total High Capacity Metro Train fleet to 70.
The trains are being delivered with over 60 percent local content and the project has created over 1,100 new jobs including over 100 long-term maintenance jobs. It is being delivered by the Evolution Rail consortium comprising Downer, CRRC Changchun and Plenary.
