The Victorian Government is investing $986 million in 25 new X'Trapolis 2.0 trains and supporting infrastructure to modernise the Victorian train fleet.

This will continue the gradual retirement of the Comeng fleet - the longest-running trains on the metropolitan network.

The new trains will start running on the Craigieburn, Upfield and Frankston lines from 2024.

Key Benefits

The new trains will provide more reliable journeys, be more energy efficient and improve accessibility for passengers.

The investment will also upgrade the Craigieburn Train Maintenance Facility, allowing the new trains to be more efficiently housed and maintained.

Project status

Detailed design work is underway with manufacturing of the 25 X'Trapolis 2.0 trains to begin in late 2022.

Local Jobs

X'Trapolis 2.0 trains will be designed and manufactured predominantly in Victoria, supporting about 750 local manufacturing and supply chain jobs.
