Werribee Line HCMT Testing 

Straya trains in 2035: X trap 2.0 testing on the metro tunnel 2

I remember when they did this during lockdown in 2020 and 2021

as a commuter who lives in and subsequently frequents Werribee station, I really hope we get some modern trains like the HCMTs at some point - the Xtrap 2.0's aren't likely to come to our line and we are stuck with many archaic Comengs at the moment, a change is certainly needed 😅 (mind you, with the state of the station and central Werribee in general, the comengs fit in well 💀)

Water HCMT 🔥

hope this happens more often, would like to be able to get a picture/video of one! last time i saw one on the werribee line was a video of it passing the old rail crossing which no longer exists

48 second in 🎉

They are still testing the HCMTS still

Great video by the way!😁

Hopefully they take a trip down to Frankston sometime soon!

Nice to see that it just about fits the platforms I think. I wonder why they didn't just test after the last services or before the first service.

I saw X Trapolis 100, Siemens Nexas and Alstom comeng stabled in westall deport today

This isn’t the first time the HCMT have been on the Werribee line for testing. Does anyone know if there is a way to find out their scheduling? I’ve seen plenty of HCMTs and I’ve ridden on them, but I want to see them during testing. Great photo opportunities too!

interesting video. Don't know where Aircraft Station is though. Maybe I should explore Mebourne's suburbs more! 6 cars only let's make it 8 then it would not fit the entire platform. The trains still don't look as nice as our Sydney Metro do.. It's either testing with sandbags or testing with water containers. In Sydney the new Parramatta Lightrail was tested with sandbags and stage 2 of the Sydney Metro driverless trains were tested with water containers but I too wondered about how the huge amount of filled water containers were loaded onto and off the test trains and there were quite a few of them. I wonder how many hours it took to load and unload them! Finally did they really need to strap them all down as they are so weighty and so close together and in real life passengers on trains move around especially at higher speed or not so smooth tracks which really shouldn't happen with well built trains. Maybe you new trains aren't water poof enough - what happens if there leak ?

0:14. Train peace look like 3000 train in Adelaide

I saw that hcmt going back to Pakenham east after finish the protect work

i think that these tests are for the metro tunnel opening in 2025. i heard that the HMT trains will run from werribee to footscray, go through the metro tunnel stations from footscray to hawksburn.

when did they go past in the belgrave line??????? was it recently?

i saw this in person completely by accident and was so confused as to why there are hcmt on the werribee line

0:05 i thought that was a horn

i believe tests on the werribee line are usually to do with high speed testing? as the line speed on the non-altona route is 115km/h. perhaps acceleration/braking with a full load of 'passengers'

The kiosk at Werribee is the remains of 388M,😔

HOPEFULL THE DUPLICATION OF SEAHOLME AND ALTONA STARTING🗣️🗣️🗣️(i kinda see a video about this, thats why.)

Nice video

Nice video, thanks. Will they test the HCMT train across all the lines?

Interesting amount of water used on a train lol

I wonder if they going introduce more HCMT to the Sunbury line, on revenue services, apart from the two in the morning?

when were hcmts on Mernda line

Set 67 back at Westall

Early turn around at laverton 😭

I wish HMCT’s replaced the x’traps on the mernda line… bouncy

Does this mean HCMTs are gonna be on other lines other than Pakenham and the metro tunnel and stuff?

on which day did you see the hcmt at werribee

That's alot of water for a test run

Why are they testing the HCMT on every line

When does Ringwood east station open

are HCMT likely to start service on the Werribee line?

Today?

Why is the Werribee line 100% BiDirecitonal

3 MINUETES

why did the hcmt go on the werribee line
