The M100 trains were among of first in the world equipped with 3-phase AC drive developed by Strömberg.

I love the width of the trains so much. So much space inside, none of that sardine can cramming like in some older metro systems (or newer with narrow trains)

1:47 the driver waved at the camera lol

A fun fact: Technically speaking this metro links the two largest cities in Finland: Helsinki (650K inhab.) and Espoo (300K). Though the cities are neighbours, in the same urban region.

And almost Vantaa (237k) since the Mellunmäki station is so close the the border. If Vantaa decides to build the light rail system from Mellunmäki to the airport the cities will be pretty nicely connected.

​@@blinder2786Even tho I'm 2 years late the metro actually goes to Vantaa because there's a service track that goes from Mellunmäki to Rajakylä (Vantaa)

Love the sound of electric motors

Coming from Adelaide, Australia, all of these trains on Helsinki Metro look fabulous. The train design simplicity for the exterior and inferior with wide spacious carriages (3.2 m wide!) and the practicality of stations are unlike anything I have seen from a metro system. Also, that acceleration from the M300 train is mind‐bogglingly fast. To give perspective of how fast the M300 acceleration is, it's going from 0 km/h (standtill, leaving the station) to 50 km/h in around 10 seconds and from standstill to 80 km/h in around 20 seconds (see 3:45 to 3:58, & 4:25 to 4:45) and being able to do that consistently as soon as the doors shut (minimal lag, instant takeoff) which are unheard of for metro systems internationally. The only other metro systems that can match the Helsinki Metro's insane acceleration rates are in Washington DC and San Francisco, but even when using the latter two US systems, it's not a close contest. The deep-level 'tube' lines of the London Underground do have similarly high acceleration rates from standtill like the Central Line and Victoria Line, but those metro trains are a lot smaller than ones typically found on the Helsinki Metro, and it wouldn't be a fair comparison.

Beautiful metro and refreshing colour ❤️

I love Orange metros and finland have it it's beautiful
