'Punch it, Chewie!'

While Han and Chewie are jumping to lightspeed in their Millennium Falcon, we’re driving test trains underground through the #MetroTunnel at a top line speed of 80km/h. Same same but different, right?

May the 4th be with you 🌌

We recently tested #ArdenStation ’s fire safety systems with CSIRO. We monitored smoke movement, speed, extraction time and impact on emergency access. The tests showed all is working as expected to help keep people safe in the rare event of a fire.

Our metro stations and trains may be fitted with the latest technology, but some things in life will never need an upgrade.

Brick by brick (all 104,000 of them), #ArdenStation ’s 15 entrance arches were installed in 2021. In 2024, the underground station and its grand entrance are now finished.

Construction on #StateLibraryStation has come a long way since we took this photo in 2019. The main entrance structure at the corner of Swanston and La Trobe streets was finished last year. Crews are now building operation rooms and passenger areas down below.

We’ve reached a new PB 💪

We ran 12 test trains between West Footscray to Hawksburn via the #MetroTunnel over a period of 3 hours.

That’s 18 trains an hour or 54 journeys, with trains running as often as 2 minutes apart. A major milestone for our testing program.

This Easter we’re celebrating the egg-cellent structures of Town Hall and State Library stations 🐰🥚

Both stations have been built with dome structures which distribute weight evenly – just like the inherently strong shape of an egg.
