Trains at Coolaroo - Melbourne Transport

In this video we visit Coolaroo, a station on the Craigieburn Line in Melbourne's northern suburbs. Filmed around 5 years ago back in March 2019 we see the usual daily action that passes through the station, including a mixture of Comeng and Siemens trains operated by Metro, and Sprinter DMU's and N Class locomotive-hauled trains operated by V/Line. We also see the QUBE Apex/Hanson Quarry Train heading towards Kilmore East led by G521. A lot has changed since this video was filmed. Some of the Comeng's seen had yet to undergo life extension works so we still see some sets in their original Metro/PTV livery. Since then all sets had undergone at least the first stage of the life extension works with the updated front livery and marker lights. Owing to the introduction of the new HCMT's some Comeng's seen in the video have been retired and scrapped. Also notice that some Comeng sets are operating as a mixed-set; with Alstom and EDI refurbished sets operating together; something no longer possible today. N Class locomotive-hauled services to Albury and Shepparton were fully replaced with Vlocity DMU's in July and October 2022 respectively. N466 and its carriages which we see heading to Shepparton was still wearing the V/Line Mk3 livery. Most V/Line rollingstock has since been converted to the V/Line Mk4 (purple PTV) livery. Originally proposed in the 1969 Melbourne Transportation Plan, Coolaroo opened on the 6th June 2010 after being announced in the 2007/2008 state budget. It was built as an infill station on the line, only three years after the line to Craigieburn was electrified from Broadmeadows in 2007. Personally I'd best describe this station as functional. It's not architecturally interesting to look at unlike other stations Melbourne built around the same time(such as Nunawading and the South Morang extension stations); it has a basic design with a footbridge and some lift shafts, and some standard platforms. But for a basic unstaffed station I think it does its job at providing a comfortable waiting environment for commuters quite well. The platforms have plenty of useable shelter, the footbridge itself is also nicely sheltered and in an oddity for Melbourne; the stairs are sheltered as well. The footbridge and the artwork on the lift shafts also adds some nice colour to the station too.
