I Rode On The Very First Melbourne Metro Train Ever (Plus Reviews)

I went for a ride on the very first train through the Metro Tunnel in Melbourne. There's chaotic station reviews, overcrowded places, overly loud chants, copious use of the phrase "six-seven", pieces of merchandise, Victorian political leaders, and a project that has been nearly 20 years in the making.

Let's just say that I was proud to be there.

I hope you find this vlog as enjoyable as I did recording it. Best of all, there's a part II coming as well! A classic documentary in my normal style on this project. With guests this time, too.
