Trains at the new Cobblebank Station - Melbourne Transport

Описание: In this video we visit Melbourne's newest railway station at Cobblebank on the Ballarat line in Melbourne's west. Situated in the suburb of Melton, Cobblebank was built as part of the much larger $517 million Ballarat line upgrade project, which primarily saw the line duplicated between Caroline Springs and Melton.

Cobblebank was built to serve some of Melbourne's growing western suburbs, but also to take pressure off nearby Melton station. The new station features a booking office, waiting room with toilets, an overhead footbridge with stairs, lifts and ramps, plenty of platform shelters, parking and a bus interchange (already utilized by the new route 454 bus to Melton). The station is the second to be added to the Ballarat line in recent years, with Caroline Springs opening in 2016.

In this video we see some afternoon peak hour action at the new station. We mostly see V/Line Vlocity DMU's, but also some N Class locomotive hauled trains (I was hoping to see all three that run during the afternoon peak, but one got cancelled so hence we only see two).
