Melboune Metro rail network has a "secret" second control room. Apparently this is "just in case" of a major catastrophie or terrorist act knocking out the main control room. As reported by Channel 7 6pm evening news on 28th May 2010

  • @noahjackson1

    How do you know :]

  • No, Transport House is the 'main' system, not the backup. And while the input systems look similar (and for good reason!), that does not make it 1980's technology. Transport House reportedly runs on PDP11 computers from the 1970's/1980s's, whereas this new one - according to the video - is of the digital era.

  • Hi you all have it wrong it is in a call centre in philippines so there John you now know were it is

  • 225 Coppin St, Burnley could be it!

  • It's at the old Transport House at 589 Collins St up near Spencer Street end. What an absolute joke. How do they go about protecting the equipment trackside? Don't they know that taking out a couple of the trackside cubicles that house the electronics to drive the signals and points could effectively lock up the whole Melbourne network? And as if anyone would want to catch a packed public train if there was terrorism going on.  This is nothing more than a waste of money. Fix the network!!

    Now they got to build a new secret one.
