Trains at the new Footscray station - Melbourne Transport
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
In this video we see some trains at Footscray, a major station in Melbourne's western suburbs serving as the junction for the Sunbury and Werribee/Williamstown lines as well as V/Line trains on the Ballarat, Bendigo and Geelong lines. The station at Footscray is very modern; having undergone a major upgrade as part of the Regional Rail Link project, which saw the construction of two new platforms, an extended footbridge, accessibility upgrades, extra seating and shelters and refurbishment of the existing heritage buildings. The upgrades were completed in 2014.
Footscray is the seventh busiest station in Melbourne with over 3.7 million passenger movements in 2013/14. The station serves the bustling Footscray CBD area which includes various shops, markets and cafe's, and Victoria University's Footscray Nicholson campus. It also serves as a major tram and bus interchange in the region; offering connections to Victoria University's Footscray Park campus, Highpoint Shopping Centre and other surrounding suburbs.
We start the video from platforms 2 & 3 where we see a variety of Metro Siemens, Comeng and X'trapolis EMU's and a number of V/Line DMU's. The city end of platform 3 gives a great view of the Regional Rail Link and the Werribee/Williamstown line tracks. We then head down to the down end of platform 4 where we see some Sunbury line trains and other V/Line trains arrive and depart the station. We then head off to platforms 5 & 6 where we see some Werribee and Williamstown line trains.

Nice video, filmed at the very station I've spent a good chunk of the last 6 years of my life going through (including when the RRL upgrade happened).
Is Footscray only in the Sunbury line?

You forgot to mention that when the new footbridge was designed and constructed the idiots didn't put in any escalators.

The 2010 footbridge wasn't a great structure. Apart from the lack of escalators which you already mentioned there was no ramps meaning that some passengers got stranded if the lifts broke down, weather protection was poor despite being 'fully enclosed', and apparently some of the metal panels caused glare to the train drivers.

@ThebusofdoomFSX yeah thankfully the RRL upgrade added ramps and escalators. I was a visitor to the station during the RRL works and later on after I started a course at the very Victoria University Campus you mentioned in the bio, Footscray Nicholson. Fair to say Footscray and I have a lot of history together. Nice video though, when was it filmed?
