The new trains are expected to go into service later this year, 100 years after Melbourne’s first electric trains started running.

Their official name is the not-very-catchy High Capacity Metro Trains, or HCMTs for short.

A friend’s son suggested what I think is a far better name, given the anniversary:

Centennial Trains.

What do you think?

For comparison, Sydney has the Millenium trains, which entered service in 2002.
