NGR 701 on maintenance testing at wulkuraka Maintenance Centre. Has been in service previously.

NGR 775 The final NGR train of the order for 75 units at Ipswich station ready to depart to Caboolture. At the moment with the Corona virus pandemic all trains including NGR trains, have a team of cleaners board at the terminus and hard surfaces are wiped down with sanitizer to control the spread of the virus. With very few passengers at the moment 454 seats per NGR train are adequate and the strap hangers have been ‘parked’ as they are not needed for standing passengers.

Are these chopper control making that distinct sound as they accelerate away?

Not sure. I will try and find out.
