Riding the epic M100 metro train in Helsinki + BONUS ride

Riding with Elevators from Finland. Music: Gelato - iLife / iMovie soundeffects
A few TECHNICAL INFO:
Manufacturer(s): Valmet OY Lentokonetehdas (aircraft factory) / Strömberg OY
Brand: (Valmet-Strömberg) Series 100 (M100)
Year built: 1982
Serial: 139
Note: These are the oldest metro trains in Helsinki, which were built between 1977 and 1984. The metro line itself was opened in 1982. In 2008, metro journeys were made on 57,6 million, and customers gave the metro passenger satisfaction surveys, a good grade for several years. There are more M100s than the newer ones, M200, which makes it quite great. These EPIC NOISES come from the "frequency changers / converters", which are still today very common on AC motors.

The lights mean the doors: If the light is white it means the doors are open. If it's red/ or the light shuts off it means that the doors are closed (I'm a real Finn :D)

Awesome trains! The 1982 train is five years younger than I am... :)

[@HeritageElevators]

Så trevligt. Absolut härlige tåg med epic motor ljud! Tycker också det var riktigt trevligt när vi utforskade hissar med Valle. Det måste vi göre igen snart. Hoppas jag får möjlighet för at resa til Helsinki igen til hösten eller vinteren

"Du e alltid välkommen till Helsingfors" :-D

[@elevatorsnescalators8454]

Yeah, that sound is awesome! Thanks to "Taajuusmuuntajat"! That would be cool if you filmed the prototype train! It's first train in M100 selection! And what is the best, IT'S NOT MODERNIZED! And it's in traffic! Here is some things what that prototype have: intenior walls are diffrent, there are no passenger next-station-indocators, outside destination indocators aren't digital: they are flip-flops! And many more... :D

[@elevatorsnescalators8454]

Elevators 'N Escalators oh and I forgot one thing. The door closing chime in this (modernized) train is beep beep beep. And in prototype: pingg. :P

[@Finntrans]

Elevators 'N Escalators Yes, it would be amazing to ride the prototype :-)

The London underground Will roll these trains on their metropolitan line services

[@yeahnoway111]

London Underground Jubilee line has the same awesome acceleration noise!

[@hesterclapp9717]

well, not quite the same, but definitely awesome. I think this train is more like the class 323

Mellunmäessä spuget rynnii ovien väliin.

[@kyosuke19971]

Hur manga år vill M100 gå i trafik? Ska dom moderniseras eller byts ut? Dom gamla T1 till T8 serien i Oslo, gamla Röda tågen skrots ju i 2007. Och sedan det är så många fler M100 an M200 och M300 bör M100 överleva många fler år! Jag har en mål om at Åka dom för dom går bort!

[@Finntrans]

Jag tror att tio år ännu, tills de byts :-)

[@kyosuke19971]

FinnTrans snyggt. :D

[@JTRedstone]
