great to hear of a new train mob running the system. but an 8 year contract! Hope they are going to awesome like Connex. Connex is awesome. -- 121.220.78.249 ( talk) 10:21, 16 August 2009 (UTC)
The article says that Metro Trains "attracted criticism during its first few days of operation....". To me these criticisms are examples of "make news" behaviour by the media. The types of incidents that occured would not have been unexpected by any sensible observer. The criticisms say a lot more about the media than they do about Metro Trains. I think we need to be careful about putting garbage from the media into Wikipedia. HiLo48 ( talk) 01:40, 1 December 2009 (UTC)
Many different ideas on this part of the article. My view.....
The trains will be labelled Metro. That legally means that Metro Trains Melbourne is trading as Metro. There hasn't been enough time for a common name to evolve. Cattle are branded. Not trains. HiLo48 ( talk) 23:58, 12 December 2009 (UTC)
From 30 November 2009, the network will always be known as Metro. If, in 8 years time, Metro Trains Melbourne are given the flick, and another mob comes to operate it, regardless of who they are, the network will be known as Metro. "Metro Trains Melbourne" are the operator of "Metro", but they are not one and the same. This is what us Metro staff are told. Maybe I should get an account here... —Preceding

I'll note that I have gotten in touch with zed.fitzume, who has kindly provided me in the past with images such as this Comeng train in M>Train livery, and I'm guessing would be more than happy to provide us with more. I expect to hear back from him before Friday. -- Sk8er5000 ( talk) 05:16, 23 December 2009 (UTC)
Can we have a better picture for the IEV please? I know the IEV102 is converted from a VLine passenger carriage (as seen in the photo) but that's just a regular passenger carriage. There's also the IEV100. I don't know who owns them both though Fauzi ( talk) 06:27, 22 April 2019 (UTC)
This article is NOT a stub. It is too long to be counted one and and there are shorter articles than this.
Agreed. Removed. HiLo48 ( talk) 08:25, 30 April 2010 (UTC)
A notice on the article page says that the neutrality of this article is disputed and says "please see the discussion on the talk page". I've read the talk page and I can't specifically see a discussion about neutrality. Could someone help me out please? Bluewave ( talk) 17:09, 27 June 2010 (UTC)
I'd like to propose that the punctuality/performance table be deleted from the Punctuality section. The table hasn't been updated since August 2014. I believe that it is an intricate level of detail which doesn't add value to the article, this table is more like a scoreboard which I think can be safely removed. Does anybody have concerns about proceeding with deleting this table? Axdya ( talk) 11:46, 28 February 2015 (UTC)
As no concerns have been raised, I have proceeded with the deletion of this table. Axdya ( talk) 06:23, 8 March 2015 (UTC)

Footnote 9 ( Gardiner, Ashley (1 September 2009). "Melbourne's train system name changes from Connex to Metro". Herald Sun. Retrieved 14 January 2010.), though it appears to refer to a specific article at the Herald Sun, is redirected to their main page, making it basically useless.

@ Fauzi: I don't really understand your rationale for making the changes you did. It is far more informative to a reader to be presented with a link to the underlying rail network that Metro actually operates in the early prose of the article, than to be offered a link to a type of rail network which may or may not actually apply here (it's unsourced and therefore difficult to verify) and have to wait until "See also" for a link to the Melbourne network. As for a link to V/Line, MOS:NOTSEEALSO tells us that as a "general rule", we need not repeat links from the body of the article; since V/Line is already linked twice here I see no need for it. Commuter rail in Australia could get a run, since there is no justification for including it in the body. Triptothecottage ( talk) 00:49, 23 April 2019 (UTC)
