Well, this day is finally here, the long-awaited ‘High Capacity Metro Train’ that was delayed for over two years now due to design issues and the ongoing but strict testing regime has finally ended with fault-free testing underway. The HCMT trains will be officially coming into service on 1 February 2021.
With the new trains coming, this marks the end for some of the older Comeng units as they start going into retirement once deemed by Metro Trains Melbourne.
