- While Melbourne was sleeping, the very first test trains entered the Metro Tunnel.
Two next-generation high-capacity metro trains travelled 1.7km from South Yarra to Anzac Station, directly under St Kilda Road.
It’s the first step as we kick off a rigorous program of testing trains and systems in the tunnels and stations throughout 2023 and into 2024.
All to ensure we can run safe and reliable Metro Tunnel passenger services in 2025.

We’ve all been waiting for this day, very exciting! It would be great to see a full video from either a passenger or driver’s perspective, driving into the tunnel and all the way through with no cuts! Either stopping at stations or not, depending on what is being tested right now. I know trains are currently going through the tunnel pretty slowly, but it’d be great to see, and it would give all Melbournians an idea of what we have to look forward to!
Cannot wait to see it all functioning. What a credit to Melbourne.
Woo!! This is incredible!
Wow can't wait. More Trains, More Often
great, as for us in Brisbane, we now have to wait until 2024, but nice work melbourne.
Services for Cross River Rail don't commence until late 2026... we have awhile to go :(
Let's hope you don't cancel your commonwealth games when the time comes.
@@KhanPiesseONE Brisbane does not need CRR or Metro buses. We need a proper mass transit system and we need it built now
The line isnt running yet, this is all testing. We will have to wait for another year or two...
@@electro_sykesCRR is a good project (its basically Brisbanes "Metro Tunnel"). Its a step toward higher frequencies and adds coverage to areas which tbh should already have stations. The metro buses should have been rail though imo...
I'm so happy that they're running test trains! I've been waiting for this moment ever since I heard about this tunnel.
we need a cab ride video :)
I can't wait to ride the first train
30 seconds ant long enough!!!!
Why do I feel like I'm living in an episode of Utopia....all we needed was pollies on scooters...
YAY!!! SOOO HAPPY TO SEE THIS!!!! I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR 2-3 YEARS FOR THIS TO FINALLY HAPPEN!!!!!🎉🎉❤❤😊😊🤯🤯🥹
That's awesome! great work peeps
Today is my birthday! What a nice surprise
Greatest train in the history of humanity
Yay!
Once the Metro Tunnel officially opens to the public, platform screen gates would eventually be retrofitted to the entire network.
Finally

Mariakutty super
Mr Andrews, your campaign seems to have the momentum of a runaway freight train. Why are you so popular?
