Can't believe a new B set was already tagged with graffiti... When I visited Sydney in 2017 for Mardi Gras (My first trip to Australia so far) one of the joys I had was riding the trains. I'm glad I found your channel. Makes me feel like I am still there and lets me continue my exploration as a train enthusiast... Keep up the great work Phil :-)
@@hazptmedia getting rid of train driver jobs is part of it, but its mainly because the current network is a mess, and building the metro allows them to spread lines out over several tracks, untangling the network
how often do they clean the graffiti i wonder? the inside of the waratahs seem to be pretty clean but the millennium are very dirty inside i have noticed.
Yeah, none of our trains deserve to be graffitied. Espically the S Sets and of course our new Waratahs. Also, our Buses, Ferries, and Light Rail don't deserve it either. :(
Transport Buff It’s so terrible why the rail network always gets targeted by vandals. One moment it’s graffiti, next it’s trespassing, and don’t forget the stupid door kicking on the T sets.
Asking nicely or giving them a slap on the wrist when caught doesn't help. Best way is to charge them for the clean up, or if they are underage/not of working age, send the bill to their parents (or legal guardians) - a few thousand dollars later to them (or their parents) and they may have a change of hobby
Hi Phil I love your videos and would like to quickly see you and say hello one day. I'm going to Hornsby on Saturday I will be going there from Woy Woy on the 9:38am service. Is there any chance you could do a video on that train or one at Hornsby?
Phil, I heard that this weekend will see some odd circumstances on the T3 line this weekend due to trackwork between Sydenham and Campsie. That means all Lidcombe/Liverpool services start from Campsie and will terminate there on the way back. Might be an opportunity for a vlog, since it does get interesting if trackwork is involved.
I'm curious to know why the A and B sets need four pantographs as the other types only have two per train, and why all available on each unit is used. Over in the UK (and I presume it's similar elsewhere), only one is used per coupled unit regardless of how long the train is. Is this a limitation of using 1.5kV DC instead of a more common voltage like 25kV AC?
All trains use four pantographs. A & B Sets are 8 carriages long, and operate as individual sets. Each set has 4 pantographs. Other Sydney Trains are 4 carriages longs, and operate as 2 sets, meaning 8 carriages. Each set has 2 pantographs, meaning 4 overall.

Great spotting video!👏👍
Awesome train vlog 👍🏻
your new trains are sparkling.
Love the sydney trains! I know metros are important and all.. but I really don't want these trains off tracks...
Kapil Awasthi They’re running metro separately from this network.
@@nicholetheotter1957 For now yes... However, bigger picture is to replace the Sydney trains with more "capacious" Sydney Metro..
Kapil Awasthi why do they make Sydney Metro? Wouldn’t that get rid of train driver jobs?
@@mosiac1984 you don't have to put "capacious" in quotations because metro legitimately has more capacity

Can I please request that you do the Newcastle Light Rail again during the Newcastle 500 V8 supercar event or around that time near that?

Those door closing alarms sound a lot like qld rails doors closing...
I rode that train when I was visiting Australia in December 2015. However, they operate much slower then the commuter trains/subway here in the USA
That train didnt exist in 2015
Awesome Video👍🏻

I feel like the M set is a 2.0 version of the tangara.

Ouch, poor B4 already got struck by the graffiti vandals.
Phil can you do one at Casula
Why didn’t record the K set out of platform 20 at 9:05
OMG! why is the B set Waratah series 2 B4 got graffiti.
Can you please report graffiti
+Joshua2004
They should remove it. There would be not point reporting, with all due respect toward Sydney, it’ll just get graffitied again soon.
To be honest, I see graffiti quite a bit more frequently these days compared to a few years ago.
Vandals are been naughty
I was there that night as well. What time did u get there?
Can you do a naver mt druitt blog pls BTW love the vids :)
the trains are too much vandalised everywhere in sydney.i wonder how much are they Gonna get the graffiti problem fixed.
David Sok they’ve been trying to fix it for decades now but it still doesn’t go away :( it’s a natural thing I guess
How do they get to the new b sets to graffiti them as they have cctv cameras on them so everything would be monitored
Where did the graffti come from.
Nice one
Central Station is destroyed and teared up this government has no idea they just make things worse Central Station R.I.P. (rest in peace)
