Nice footage , i take it the rust problems on the trains are being worked on . Any ideas when they will be back? Am looking forward to riding on one again. Really thought it was the end for these trains, but they just never say die.

Thanks for your comments!
I have no idea about the rust on the Hitachi sets. As far as I am aware, the bodies are made of stainless steel. The rusty looking muck on the roof is brake dust stuck to grease which was used to lubricate the overhead.
There are a few Hitachi sets still getting around Melbourne, but I couldn't tell you where they're operating, or when this set will be operational again. I'm not really a 'spark' enthusiast.

Oh thanks , according to the media the Hitachi sets were removed recentley due to rust in the floors & doors . It sounded like they were getting fixed up , but then from another source it sounded like they wern't coming back. But i would say from the footage you have the trains are indeed getting repaired.I like the back drop of footage seeing the Hitachi in the bush and the other spots , they look good out of the city area.

I think they are being refurbished.
I prefer watching the noisy thing up the front of the train - pretty much the only reason I followed this particular working.
