Diagrams & accessibility information for all trains used on the suburban network.

The request was partially successful.

Dear Public Transport Victoria,

I am writing to request information regarding diagrams or maps of the models of trains currently used on the suburban network. This is an informal freedom of information request, and I understand that the information may not be readily available.

I would appreciate it if you could provide me with the following information:

- Diagrams or maps of each model of train currently in use on the suburban network
- Information on the layout of the carriages and amenities on each train

I understand that this information may not be readily available, but I would be grateful if you could provide it if possible as it regards accessibility.

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Yours faithfully,
Finn

PTV FOI, Public Transport Victoria

Dear Finn,

 

Thanks for your message.

 

Four types of rollingstock are currently deployed on the metropolitan
train network for passenger revenue service:

 

o Comeng
o Siemens
o X’Trapolis
o High-Capacity Metro Train (HCMT)

 

Some general background information about these train sets can be found
at: [1]https://vicsig.net/index.php?page=suburb...

 

We will see what information we hold regarding drawings for interior
layout, and information on amenities and accessibility.

 

Regards,

Gavin

Dear Finn,

 

I have consulted the program area in relation to your query.

 

Searches have identified four drawings concerning the metropolitan train
rollingstock which appear relevant to your query.

 

The accredited rail operator (Metro Trains Melbourne Pty Ltd) and the
program area expressed safety/security concerns regarding the disclosure
of these drawings, so we will not be releasing these drawings informally
to the public.

 

Should a formal FOI request be lodged for these drawings, it is possible
that access may be denied pursuant to section 29A(1C) of the Freedom of
Information Act 1982 (Vic).

 

Please find attached a document summarising the accessibility and
passenger amenity features of the metropolitan train sets.

 

Many thanks.

 

Regards,

Gavin
