Voiceover: Melbourne is Australia's fastest growing city. Our rail network spans over 1000km of track, connects more than 220 stations and delivers over 2000 services a day, helping Victorians and visitors connect with people, places, and experiences. And we are transforming Melbourne's public transport network with more connections and better journeys. This includes opening the Metro Tunnel, removing our most dangerous and congested level crossings, more ways to pay, and state of the art trains manufactured right here in Victoria.

Voiceover: A world class train network needs a world class operator. They will deliver more reliable services, better customer experience, improved accessibility, and more real time data, as well as the flexibility to adapt and innovate for the future. All this comes with the purposes of servicing the needs of our dynamic, vibrant, and growing communities. They will meet stronger performance targets and focus on operational excellence, technical capability, and delivering a better experience for every passenger.

Voiceover: We are calling on the most experienced transport operators from around the world to bid for the next contract to run Melbourne's train network, commencing in late 2027. One who can deliver the best outcome for all Victorians and help shape the future of our public transport network.
