Tender Description

⁠⁠⁠The Victorian Government has entered into a public private partnership contract with Evolution Rail. Sixty-five next-generation high capacity trains will be delivered for the metropolitan network. The high capacity trains will be the newest trains in the metropolitan Melbourne fleet, capable of carrying significantly more passengers than existing trains.

The trains will first operate on the Cranbourne and Pakenham lines and will eventually run through the Melbourne Metro Tunnel to Sunbury. High capacity metro trains will progressively enter service from mid-2019 and, when the project is complete in 2023, capacity on the Cranbourne and Pakenham lines will increase by 42 per cent, providing room for an additional 11,000 passengers in the morning peak.
