Nath, So my oldest is obsessed with trains. We just got back from going out to catch this train. Seriously: we caught a train to Perth, found out when the C-Series was coming (in 90 minutes), hung around until then and finally caught the thing to Whitfords and back.
It was fine. A train is a train as far as I’m concerned. The best bit about it was that he got to meet about a dozen other train-obsessed kids.

Gorgritch_umie_killa, Okay, i hadn’t appreciated how boxy it is.
Cool experience for them, and i’m sure vicariously for you as well.
Nath, Somewhere between a Comeng and an Xtrapolis. Nicer than either inside. Some content about it here if you are interested.
Edit: whoops, I thought I was replying to @Baku for some reason. I used Melbourne trains as a reference. Yep, it’s more snub-nosed than the other trains on our lines, but not much more so than the A series.
Gorgritch_umie_killa, Haha, yeah i’s definitely bewildered for a few seconds there.
ziltoid101, I feel like the B series only arrived on the Freo line a few years ago, might have to go out of my way to check these new ones out.
giddy, I look forward to riding one on the Midland line in 2044
Bangeo, I look forward to never seeing one on the armadale line when i repoens
Baku, That seems a bit optimistic. I think you meant 2054
