A
growing feature on Cityrail trains is the increase of security cameras
on-board Cityrail carriages. The Millennium Train features 6 security
cameras per carriage (2 each for the decks and 1 per vestibule), with the
images being relayed and recorded to a main security monitor screen in the
guard’s compartment. ‘Help-points’ are also located at the carriage
vestibules next to the carriage doors.
Many
new features on the Millennium Train, not seen in other Cityrail trains, are
the introduction of visual destination indicators aboard the carriage.
Located on both ends of the vestibule, top and bottom decks of the train,
these destination indicators (Similar to ones used on station platforms)
display stopping patterns of the service, station arrivals and other
important information.
Accompanying
these indicators, is an on-board voice announcement system. Similar to
automated station announcements, the Millennium Train also features a
pleasant female voice audibly announcing items displayed on the destination
indicators and also adds in other information and Cityrail announcements.

new visual indicator boards on the Millennium Train, in D1001. Located
on both ends of the vestibule, top and bottom decks of the train, these
destination indicators (Similar to ones used on station platforms) display
stopping patterns of the service, station arrivals and other important
information - 8/7/02
