I wish the government extended this line to it’sintended Randwick Junction, as it was originally planned. But due to financial constraints, the stopped at Bondi Junction.
Hi Phil, great video. My first train trip to Bondi Junction was way back in 1979, just after the line officially opened. Incidentally, how far does the tunnel go east of Bondi Junction? All the very best, Robert.
Wow!! It only seems like yesterday since it opened. Time certainly flies. I remember about three days after the ESR opened there was a train strike, though the ESR wasn't affected and continued to run. Apart from the new line to Bondi Junction at the time coming through Town Hall, the station was otherwise completely empty that day.
Oh, if only I went to Bondi Junction, I could have actually seen you! So close! However, I did see T72 and T106 under test again. I saw them go past at Sutherland when I was walking from the station to the nearby Coles supermarket. I only knew it was them because I saw an active LED destination indicator on the rear.
Hey Phil, is there any way of checking if any S sets are running? I have heard of AnyTrip, but I've also heard that it's quite unreliable when it comes to detecting S sets
Pacman 1234 The best place to see S sets is on the Carlingford Line, since I’ve mostly seen one running over there on most weekdays. Same for the Lidcombe to Olympic Park shuttle services.
Obviously they won’t be able to run 10-car sets on the T4 Line (Redfern - Bondi Junction) due to short platforms, they will have to terminate at Central intercity platforms I’m guessing.
V666 From Hell I’m betting that the new intercity D Set (at least that’s I’ve heard their set code will be) will most likely have to terminate at Central intercity because a 10 car configuration won’t be able to fit the Eastern Suburbs line stations due to as you said, short platforms. This longer configuration will also see a lot more stations added to the short platforms list and others changed due to the extra carriages. Sad thing is, the Eastern Suburbs section will become completely run by Tangaras because of this, much like how Tangaras are completely the only thing you see on the Cronulla branch. I’m also guessing SP8 will have to be introduced as a short platform category. This will include several suburban stations currently serviced by intercity trains, such as Strathfield, Epping, Hornsby, Blacktown, Penrith, Wolli Creek, Hurstville and Sutherland likely finding themselves in the new SP8 category, as they can only fit 8 cars. Parramatta may be the exception, as the platforms there are longer than a 8 car suburban train.
Michael Goodwin Then again, Randwick and Kingsford are serving as terminus points for the new Light Rail line. Bondi Junction station also has access to buses for connecting with parts of the Eastern Suburbs anyway.
Yes, totally agree with you, the Light Rail makes up for most of the shortfalls of not completing the ESL and the East still has a fairly good bus network based off the old pre 1960 tram network.
Michael Goodwin I regularly have used buses in the Eastern Suburbs and most of the time they do tend to be reliable. Most of those Eastern Suburbs buses tend to start and end at Bondi Junction anyway, and with its major bus interchange directly above the station, it allows easy interchange between trains and buses. It also helps when you consider that Bondi Junction runs notable high-patronage services like 333 to Bondi Beach and to the City, and 400 serving as a link between the north and south parts of the Eastern Suburbs, such as Eastgardens, Randwick and Kingsford. Bondi Jn also runs services linking with other major Eastern Suburbs beaches like Coogee and Maroubra.
They do stop at those stations and I've heard the DVAs skip announcing those stations before myself but apparently, they're only 'Pick Up Only' stations but people still get off there and no one even cares. If you look on TripViewLite, then you'll find it saying that or at least thats what I found
xILachlanYT That S set was likely filling in for another set, likely a K set or Waratah. S sets only got removed from timetabled service on that line, so they can sometimes show up in place of something else.
Compguy I do hope Phil films a vlog at the Eastern Suburbs T4 line stations for the anniversary. Not the only major anniversary relating to the T4 line this year, as the Cronulla line celebrates 80 years come October.
Cooper Troopa Sadly, Phil will be overseas that day. He does plan to do his Metro North West coverage when he gets back though, but other vloggers will probably cover the opening day.
Alik S It’s their brakes. Those sounds you hear on Tangara T sets and C sets is because they use a type of electric motor known as a “chopper control” motor. That’s basically why they make those whiny sounds when they pull in or depart from a station.
Somehow I like the look of the Underground stations on the ESL
The closest thing we have to a metro until well, the actual metro opens next week :)
anindra pratama I love how these stations haven’t changed much despite being like, 40 years old now.
Great Video! 👍❤️👍 Sydney Trains Vlogs!

Coooool

Good Video
I am Going to Sydney Once

RGC198 The Eastern Suburbs Line actually celebrates its 40th anniversary this July. I’m actually shocked it’s THAT old.

th-cam.com/video/cqjhI9sZwts/w-d-xo.html this answers ur question of the east tunnel length

No one asked
Dang it, I was just there and probably might have missed you. Anyway, excellent video!
Amazing!!!👍

Hey Phil, great Vid. Any plans for vlog 1600?
I find it interesting that Sydney trains still uses guards and they use the whistle at every station
Great video Phil
This a terminal station in east Sydney.The platform looks like the metro style so much.😃
How often I use to come here when S sets were running. Priority was them to ride on first.
If only they had completed the Eastern Suburbs Line thru Randwick to Kingsford..

Yes! imagine if it continued through the suburbs to mascot via Randwick, Coogee, Maroubra ect
I was watching a video and someone asked what's beyond bondi junction station so where the junctions are
Great video and I don't know why the 8 car Oscar wich I can't remember the sets was not stopping at Wolli Creek, Hurstville and Sutherland
They do stop at those stations and I've heard the DVAs skip announcing those stations before myself but apparently, they're only 'Pick Up Only' stations but people still get off there and no one even cares. If you look on TripViewLite, then you'll find it saying that or at least thats what I found
Okay
I subscribed
That dis like dough. Why? Such good content!
I don’t commonly see H sets in Bondi Junction
@Sydney Trains Vlogs I saw an Set at Padstow this morning for a revesby service, I thought they got scrapped?
xILachlanYT That S set was likely filling in for another set, likely a K set or Waratah. S sets only got removed from timetabled service on that line, so they can sometimes show up in place of something else.
Omg I see the next sign in central station but not in Bondi junision
Awesome
Eastern Suburb railway will be turn 40th on 23 Junes.
Compguy I do hope Phil films a vlog at the Eastern Suburbs T4 line stations for the anniversary. Not the only major anniversary relating to the T4 line this year, as the Cronulla line celebrates 80 years come October.
Are you riding on the metro on the 26th and if so can we meet up for my birthday treat I would love that
Cooper Troopa Sadly, Phil will be overseas that day. He does plan to do his Metro North West coverage when he gets back though, but other vloggers will probably cover the opening day.
Oh well all good thanks for the info mate I can’t go now any way
How is it possible for trains to run in opposite directions on the same track?? (See video at approximately two minutes to three minutes.)
Old Man After Bondi Junction, the tracks cross over.
Nice video! :)
i saw some grafiti in T 65 in the video
scary
OMGGGGGG I LIVE AT BONDI JUNCTION (tangara sooo common huh)
Oh cool!
I’m close by in Randwick :)

hello
I just took this train today lol
Can I request another V set vlog
I saw you there today, but I didn't want to interupt your video
All good mate, you’re more than welcome to come and say hi anytime :)
@@sydneytrainsvlogs Can you do early morning Wolli Creek on the T4 platforms this week?
@@lachlank2458 YES PLZ
Phil can you do a Fairfield Trainspotting because I would appreciate it and if you don't mind do some level crossing action
@@lachlank2458 Phil will be on the other side of the world during the week.
H14 has a wierd door chime
where is the last train in the video going to
Sai Ramanathan That Oscar (H Set) was likely going to Kiama. They tend to run the South Coast Line from here.
I like tangara
Question: when the tangaras (and C sets) are braking, is that noise caused by the couplers or is it the electronic brakes?
Alik S It’s their brakes. Those sounds you hear on Tangara T sets and C sets is because they use a type of electric motor known as a “chopper control” motor. That’s basically why they make those whiny sounds when they pull in or depart from a station.
