When the entire population of Melbourne needed him the most, he returned.
Yessir, I did indeed :)
the return of the king
Why doesn't Metro Tunnel let you do their informational videos for them? That was seriously well put together and concisely explained everything that was going on, without all the usual government hyperbole.
I never knew what the f was actually happening after reading about it on their sites years ago but yet a 5 min video can explain it all 🤣🤣
Thank you for such kind words!
I would love to do their videos for them haha, but at the same time, love being independent in doing whatever I want :)
Yeah bro never sell out just keep doing you!
Hit up Europe when you can leave Melbourne & you can get some sick train content
I thought this was produced by PTV I was impressed they would do such a thing!
I agree. Train Man’s videos are many times more creative and entertaining than the 2 minute MTM project ‘update’ videos available to public.
That’s a massive amount work carried out. Well done to all the trades and engineers 👍
I agree, even if Melbournian complain of it's slow progress, any progress is ridiculously hard work that takes years of planning to get right. Thanks for the comment :)
@@thetrainman548 i hope that the slow progress is due to genuinely thoughtful considerations and decisive planning but we can only tell once it's fully finished :)
I Started at Arden on Tuesday, and did some site visits at Anzac, Parkville and the East and Western Portal. The amount of work completed and being undertaken, and infrastructure set up is mind boggling. First time in a Tunnel walking from Arden street to the western portal and back was a pretty cool experience.
When the streets are empty for a year it makes it easy lol
I wonder how much empty road affect trucks entering and exiting 😮
@@thetrainman548 i would be interested to find out
nah but think about how annoying having to have less personel on site would be, and people working from home.... I feel like that would have halted works a bit too
Thanks for putting that together, have seen different parts of works have been posted with this video putting it together nicely.
Thanks for watching Bevan, glad you enjoyed! That is the goal for the video, to compile all of the amazing footage already around into one video
So good to see you back! This is honestly the best Melbourne railway CZcams Channel. I've learnt so much through your videos!
Thank you for such kind words, I am honoured to be your best Melbourne Rail CZcams Channel, even though many could easily deserve that status :)
So glad you're back Max, with another great and informative video. Do hope this project doesn't encounter the same long delays of London's Crossrail project, where all the tunnelling was finished long ago but station fitting out and signalling problems have gone way over schedule.
Lots of delays and cost blowouts with this.
Still could not tell me the final station designs and inter station transfer arrangements well after construction began.
A recipe for cost blowouts with contract variations as time goes on.
I agree with you guys for sure, Crossrail has the potential to be opened 4 years over the original opening date, that is crazy, I can't imagine the Metro Tunnel opening in 2028-29!
It always seems to be the details that delays a project, this is seen through the HCMT trains! Thanks guys
Of course it won't complete on time or budget, it's a government project.
Welcome back! Great update, lots of views too. Hope Queensland is treating you well.
The southern hemisphere's largest ever rail project on Australia's already largest metro rail network!
Go the Vics!
Umm nah. I’d say not even close. Sydney metro would be far bigger than this. And that has more than just 5 stations.. As would have been the Chatswood to Macquarie underground line. And the new western Sydney airport metro.
Thanks for the update. I've seen most of your previous posts and the are terrific reminiscing about old train lines and stations while living in Brisbane Australia. Thanks again for all the effort you collect and deliver to inform the public.
Cheers Maria
Thanks man, that was a great update. Thank you 😊
Glad you liked the update, the Metro Tunnel is so interesting!
@@thetrainman548 I have a friend who works for metro tunnel program and he’s asked me to go down there for a walk through . I’m a bit scared of closed spaces but I might do it and see it in real life
so jealous! I would to do a walkthrough before it is opened, what an incredible experience!
@@thetrainman548 I guess you’re right
Omg you’re alive
I am indeed, for the whole year hopefully
@@thetrainman548 Hopefully for longer than that! :)
@@ourjeffie way longer than that of course :)
The best wrap of this great project I have seen, fantastic work
They should have had a station at South Yarra.
Another awesome video! You are THE trainman!!
Excellent Max interesting info as usual.. Good to see you back.🙂👍
I was only thinking a couple of days ago it's about tim we got a new video from The Train Man..
TBM1 from State Library to CBD South laid its 48th ring last night and is pushing forward at 20mm/min full steam ahead. Nice video man
get me on a train to the airport pls
I'm going to build it myself 😉
@@thetrainman548 Just to help you with this, here's the original proposal prototype
czcams.com/video/QXBwzC4JYC0/video.html
@@thetrainman548 that'll probably be quicker
Your videos and delivery keep getting better and better! Well done on another great presentation.
To be honest, this is the most interesting thing I've seen about boring machines yet - I look forward to taking a trip through the new tunnel when it opens.
By the way, have you managed to get a ride on the HCMT yet? It kinds of turns up now and then, and occasionally even takes passengers - but I reckon that's just a novelty act.
Awesome as usual! Missed ya mate, glad to see you're back!!
Cheers Adam, I missed you guys during my break. Hopefully, during year 12, I don't disappear for too long at one time, at least 20 videos will be posted this year
@@thetrainman548 Study first my friend! The trains will still be there when you're done.
Another Brilliant video from our one and only! Keep it up! 👍
Thanks heaps Alex! Glad you liked it so much :)
Mate very informative video. As a train fan myself I think the project will open a little earlier. You should do the secrets of the cragieburn line which is my line I take
I've commented a lot on your videos, I love them and continue to watch them, you have so much knowledge about our suburban network, Go young man...................
Meanwhile Hawaii's above ground rail is nowhere near completion after more than 5 yrs. 😂
Great job Australia
@@jesseheise7579 Archieluxery is also a well known playboy from Australia 😉
@@jesseheise7579 I hope you’re not basing that claim on our rail technology....which is 20 years behind Europe.
We need the lines to Monash....
Hello there Train Man, I'm a contract Crane Operator , I've been involved in the construction of the acoustic sheds on most sites and further involvement in the shoring of city square and OSD, I have a great number of photos and some videos. I'm not sure if it would be oked bye CYP to just anyone but you've been in just as far as myself. If this would be of interest to you please give me a message. Cheer's enjoyed the tutorial and the footage, it's been a hard slog and alot more to come, I'm proud to be playing a part in this amazing construction.
Rooster 🐓
A very exciting project for our city - congratulations on the progress made to date - outstanding 😃👌👌👌👌
I worked at ANZAC Station during its construction, played my small part. Keep up the good work mate, really enjoy your videos!
That's so cool Andrew, I'm jealous that you worked on the line, thanks for watching another video :)
Loving your work. Looking forward to the next vid
Well done. I appreciate your concise explanation
Thanks heaps James, glad you enjoyed mate!
Hey gotta say this content is really good. Melbourne state library sounds like a nice place to visit. I W would really like to visit it.
Very very good explanation. Many thanks.
Hi Max, good video,great enunciation, cheers.
covid-19: exists
metro tunnel: we dont do that here
Great video, I just subscribed :)
That was fascinating, thank you 👍
Cheers Edward 👊👊
Great content mate keep it coming 😃👏👍
This video was hella dope man 🔥 thank you!!
Nice to see another video from you. 2025 I might have to use my seniors card and travel around the network for my 60th. Keep up the great work Max, look forward to your videos. 👍
Haha, thanks again Steve, 2025 is a long way away indeed! More videos coming consistently over the next few months, although balancing with Year 12 will be tricky!
Hi Train Man
I am an ex suburban guard from the 70’s.
Just finished watching a good collection of your videos and I admire the knowledge that you have acquired.
I would be good if you could do a video on the history of the Newport Workshops. Another piece of forgotten VR history where everything you could imagine was manufactured. They even supported the war efforts during the early 20th century.
Keep up the good work.
Thank you for watching my videos Graeme, I always love to hear of people who worked on the railways watching, it is so cool.
Great suggestion here too, Newport Workshops, along with the nearby museum are both things that I want to document on my channel, especially considering the history that came out of those places. I shall let you know when I get around to filming and getting those videos out! Thanks again
Hi Graeme, Can I ask you about being a guard on the metro network in the 70s? I lived at Burnley and was a train addict growing up.
Did you ever work on the VR Fast Parcels trains that used to run all over Melbourne up until 1985 I believe it was?
Cheers,
Gary-Adelaide.
Great stuff man! Really good information! Keep them coming!
Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed it. I'm still loving your content too :)
This video gave me more information in more interesting terms in relation to this rail project than all of the official press releases.
Excellent! Nicely done, The Train Man. 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thank you for the 5 stars :), glad you enjoyed it so much!
No worries :)
Love the updates Train Man, landmark project for the great southern capital, and is interesting watching it's progress. We have the Sydney Metro expansion into the CBD and beyond currently under construction...a landmark project for us. Keep up the great work and looking forward to further updates. Cheers from the not locked down Sydney!!!!
Thanks mate. I have actually loved watching the rail project progress in Sydney, looks a little faster than here in Melbourne, although they are both amazing projects!
...........sydney will be in lockdown again this year along with other capitals!
@@thetrainman548 the Melbourne project is way bigger, that's why!
Welcome back Train Man. Great video.
Can't wait for more videos. Well done mate.
Cheers Ben, more videos coming very soon!
fresh really excited big ups joan and meg
Agreed, Joan and Meg have done heaps
Great info!
Well done Max. That's excellent.
Thank you John, I'm glad you liked it, I was fairly happy with my commentary in this one
Excellent review/update. Thank you.
Glad you think so Robert, I appreciate you watching 😊👍
They almost seem like there ahead of schedule.
Aha, well, we shall see over this year...
Ahead? The schedule is that slack - it shouldn’t be taking this long to build 9klm of twin tunnel in the first place. This project of positively glacial.
@@xr6lad I think you might be forgetting the huge amount of logistics involved with a project that runs through the centre of our CBD.
You should consider doing updates on Brisbane’s Cross River Rail. Our TBM’s have only recently started tunnelling.
Lovely work. Thought I was watching a video game coz the images were so wonderful
He returns!
what about an airport link dammit
I knowww!!! I feel like we will have flying space trains going to mars before we get a fucking train to tullamarine LOL
@@carmelle4967 that sounds like fun
It sucks because we have a non-compete clause in the citylink contract so the gov can't build anything that competes with the freeways 👎
@@nicbenson93 that citylink thing really screwed us in many different ways.
Yeah 2050. Maybe. 🙄
Another interesting and informative video, Max - well done!
Thank you for watching another video, great to hear from you again :)
Cool video dude i enjoyed that as a video idea you could visit some of the stations on the abandond south gippsland line. once lockdown is over of course but yeah great work mate.
Great video👌I love the upgrades❤
I do too :), thanks Suzan!
Great update - loved all the video.
Thank you Seb, great to hear from you again, and I'm happy you enjoyed :)
2021 and the adventure continues. Congratulations on the sub count. well deserved.
Thanks Brian. I can't believe how much I'm growing, but I hope it doesn't stop though haha. I hope to do this for years to come, I am still loving it!
@@thetrainman548 I can see you taking this passion to a whole new level in the next few years.
That's the plan 🤞🤞
Great video, I didnt even know most of this stuff. Thanks!
Great video thanks 😌
Cheers William, happy to hear you enjoyed :)
Keep up the awesome video's. It would be good to see video's on the new Coburg & Morelands Stations...as well as Reservoir Station and the impact they've had on improving traffic flow. Plus from a design perspective they're great looking station's.
Nice vid max!
Thanks big man, glad you enjoyed!
A great environment friendly project,
I am looking forward to use this service🌹🌹🌹.
How is this environmentally friendly????
One train can carry 1000 people and it is better if the train runs by solar power source.
It’s less polluted than using 1000 cars.
From suburbs to the city by trains, it is faster and more economic, parking in the CBD is too expensive.
It is more convenient to take the train to the airport, rather than parking the car at the airport for weeks when travelling.
These are my views😊😊😊.
train man your channel is growing fast
It has grown quite a bit the past few days :)
Awesome man
Can’t wait for more uploads again!
They'll be coming more regularly this year, if all goes to plan :)
@@thetrainman548 yay
Nice Vid Train Man
Thanks very much!
You're back!
Hello Train Man.
I recently went to Maryborough Victoria and visited there most beautiful train station which is huge. I was told the station was meant to be built in Maryborough in Queensland, not Maryborough Victoria. I thought you might be interested in this station and if there is any truth about the story. The station it self is well worth a video as it is beautiful and has been well looked after/restored.
Thank you
Paul
What's huge about Maryborough station? I believe its only 2 platforms? I know the buildings are beautiful but what part of it is huge?
Good summary of progress. Cheers
Thank you George, I'm glad you enjoyed!
Excellent
Great vid as always
Thanks mate, great to hear you liked it!
They need to start planning MM2 so those TBMs can just roll on through to the next project!!
Now that my friend, is a very smart idea, you should be suggesting this to the Rail Projects Victoria, even if they have already thought about it, having costumer suggestions is what they want!
Probably going on to the suburban rail loop.
Great video max
Cheers Rob, much appreciated 😊😊
great vid mate!
Thanks Andrew, glad you liked it!
2025...
Ooooff
I second that, haha. Long, patient wait for sure
Woo your back
I am indeed 😊
woah anothe premiere! I do wanna visit those stations when it opens
So do I. I can't wait to ride trains through these new tunnels!
Thanks Train Man, loved the update, best ever. N.M
Good info mate 👍
Hay just discovered your Vids today. There was a link on reddit. As an ex melb metro train worker (guard on hitachi and commeng. Even drove a blue train once). I found your vids to be well researched and excellent in their content. I went back to the start of your vids for an bit of a tour through your clips on melbs train history and lines. It's been fun to watch you grow up and get better at making good videos. Yes your voice has been getting deeper as you go along. (But you know this)
How about discussing how train signaling works and "the safe working system". Is all of melb metro 3 position automatic signals? They used to use loop and staff on some sections. This is another interesting aspect of trains and their operations and melb metro definely has a history of safe working signaling systems. How about how the metro control system is operated now from a control centre.
Thanks for doing these vids, they're great and I think your doing a fantastic job as a presenter. Even quite funny in parts. So keep it up Mr Train Man. 10/10.
choo choo peeps!
Yes ! New Train Man !
Yes :)
Hope you enjoyed Mick, great to hear from you again
This reminded me of Die hard with a vengeance
Come on Melbourne come on 💪
Come on! Haha
As a Melbournian you feel very proud 👍
Thank you ☺️, I appreciate it
Nice!
Video recommendation - history of General Motors station.
Cracking suggestion mate, I'm just looking to get authorised access to the station site before completing this, so the video is that much better!
@@thetrainman548
Now that sounds like a verry interesting vid ..
..looking forward to seeing 👌
THE TRAIN GOAT IS BACK!!!
Yessir :) it's great to be back
Good video train man you should do the history on Southern Cross.
Now that is a good idea Jake, certainly one you will see this year!
@@thetrainman548 ,when you are planning it there is some good historical footage that has been uploaded to yt.
Very cool! I will do thorough research for that video indeed, thanks for the heads up.
@@thetrainman548 , i think john phillips has posted some colour stuff.
Meg and Alice the tunnel machine amazing technology and engineering to do tunnels in general with so many buildings and humans above
Sick
The best!
Pretty close to it :)
I like the untangling of line animation hehe
Same with me, it is very cool
czcams.com/video/qfWuADxgt6Y/video.html
Thanks Train Man
Thanks for watching Scotty :)
thank you..
no, thank you, for watching :)
Great stuff buddy! and nice to talk to u again
Thanks for watching, great to be back!
Sydney metro is better in my opinion, but this is till cool, and will be great when opened.
This project is like a third of the size of Sydney Metro railway project
Pretty much, but exciting regardless 👍
congrats on 3.15 k
Thanks Eddy!
