Fleet
X’Trapolis 100
The Alstom suburban train introduced on Connex’s original side of the network.
Introduced before the merger
The first Melbourne X’Trapolis trains entered service in December 2002. Connex introduced them on its original Hillside routes. This was a different acquisition from the Siemens trains ordered by the other franchise.
Reading a period photograph
A Connex-era photograph of an X’Trapolis places the fleet in the operator’s livery and the network of that date. Later photographs of the same train type may show a different operator or service pattern.
Compare with Siemens Nexas and the original Hillside route group.
