Metro’s Comeng Electric Multiple Units entered service in 1981 and were refurbished from 2000 to 2003. These trains operate in three-car sets, with a trailer in between two motor cars. Two sets are combined to form a six-car train. They are able to operate on all lines within the Melbourne electrified area. Twelve of the 570 carriages that entered service have been scrapped or stored.
