==== Former rolling stock ==== When the line was electrified, the Sandringham line initially used a fleet of [[Swing Door]] and [[Tait (train)|Tait]] EMUs. Until the 2000s, the line generally used all types of EMUs operating in Melbourne. From 1982, as the [[Comeng (train)|Comeng]] EMUs entered service, the remaining Tait stock were cascaded onto the Sandingham line, as well as on the [[Port Melbourne railway line|Port Melbourne]] and [[St Kilda railway line|St Kilda]] lines as they were banned from running in the [[City Loop]]. At the same time, the refurbished Harris trains were put into service on those said three lines. From 1991, the line went back to using the regular [[Hitachi (Australian train)|Hitachi]] and [[Comeng (train)|Comeng]] trains until its displacement with the [[Siemens Nexas|Siemens]] EMU. [[Hitachi (Australian train)|Hitachi]] EMUs were removed from the line in December 2013.
