I've never touched snow. I LOVE the cold. I want to make a snowman, a snow angel, and have a snowball fight with my friends and family :)). One day, I wish and hope.
Hey Phil, you are almost at 2000 vlogs and I just wanted to say congrats for making it this far throughout your youtube career! I’ve been a subscriber since you uploaded the all about g sets video which was awesome! Thanks for making my favourite content on TH-cam!
Good change in scenery. Didn't know it snowed near Sydney. It very rarely snows in Wellington and we have mountains everywhere. Guess we're not cold enough like Canada or the U.S.
I like the video, such a contrast to the usual vlogs. Those V-sets would be nice and cozy inside. Sitting back with a book, a thermos and a sandwich would have made for a relaxing trip.
Great video! Would of been nice and cold. Although it would never happen, I could imagine a train line going up to the snowy mountains connecting Jindabyne to Canberra or something like that, imagine how much snow would be on there!
I was in the Blue Mountains yesterday at Mount Victoria. The first time in my life I ever made contact with the snow. It was amazing. Guards and Drivers were nice. Had a little horn show from a V Set and saw 2 freight trains (3 CEY SSRs and 1 NR Pacific National with an 82 Class trailing). I've also seen V40 & V29 so many times now. I find it quite funny.
I caught the 7:59am V set service out of Penrith yesterday morning through to Mount Victoria, plenty of snow on the ground from before Medlow Bath through Blackheath and almost Mount Victoria. Plenty of snow flurries whilst I waited for the 10:18am service back. Was great to see the snow, but very chilly, wind chill had temps well below zero.
I was on one of the v sets and some kid pulled the electric cord out that’s connected to the middle cars and all the lights and air conditioning turned off temporarily and I was like 🥶
You certainly had a big day getting around. I still can't find a rail map with Tarana - never heard of it until today (and a few other stops out Bathurst way). Great vid.
Well done catching the trains in the falling snow there. Back in the 1970's my dad and I took a day train trip to Katoomba during mid winter. we saw sleet while there and it was very cold, though no snow unfortunately.
Same! 😆 I was thinking..."Wow! Winter certainly started early there this year! And they've even got some snow falling already!" Then I suddenly remembered I was in the Northern Hemisphere and Australia is in the Southern Hemisphere." 😂 I grew up in the Southern Hemisphere in South Africa and move between North and South from time to time. I guess that can make one forget, momentarily, which side of the globe one is on.
It is actully is its on the Sydney trains map and part of the Bathurst bullet as it passes through and the blue mountains line service that goes to Lithgow sometimes and terminates at Lithgow and Bathurst same with the Bathurst bullet except ternimates at central instead of lithgow
Probably the best snow event of the winter so far on the Blue mountains and as far west to Orange. Thanks for you're dedication Phil.
Yeah we went to Barrington tops in a 2wd and had about 15cm of snow on the roof , we got stuck for 3 days ...
Great vlog Phil, the angles are immaculate. Keep it up. Love the old V sets!
Couldn’t agree more Renae
Oh how I love the V sets!
I am ex-sydney/newcastle and have a soft spot for them too!

Great Vlog mate 👍🏻
Magnificent V set footage. Loved every second!!
Great Video! Great catch of the Bathurst Bullet at Tarana. :)
Wow what a beautiful collection!
Nice snow. I liked how you got the Bathurst Bullet.
its very light as well.
Agreed

As someone who travelled on a v set through the Blue Mountains yesterday, I can assure you it was a warm and relaxing ride!
Wow what a contrast to the start of the year
Steven's Sydney Trains I think he’s referring to American time
The comment is merely stating that there were bush fires at the beginning of the year & now snow in August. Simples
Your snow videos are always the best
Nice video! Must have been coldddd
Look at all the snow ❄️ falling! Wow!
Great video! Would of been nice and cold. Although it would never happen, I could imagine a train line going up to the snowy mountains connecting Jindabyne to Canberra or something like that, imagine how much snow would be on there!
I'd love to see that too. If only I had the means to make it happen
Amazing

So V40 and V29 are your stalker sets, eh?
Nichole The Otter Ha Ha XD. In a nutshell, yes. For the entire weekend.

Great video! Nice dash cam view!
Thumbs up for getting the Bathurst Bullet at Tarana.
You certainly had a big day getting around. I still can't find a rail map with Tarana - never heard of it until today (and a few other stops out Bathurst way). Great vid.
Well done catching the trains in the falling snow there. Back in the 1970's my dad and I took a day train trip to Katoomba during mid winter. we saw sleet while there and it was very cold, though no snow unfortunately.
Back then did you guys catch a U set or Double Deck V set?
I drove up as far as Katoomba. It snowed as I was stuck in traffic on the Great Western Highway between Leura and Katoomba for 20 minutes.
Wow mate... Really Amazing
I can't believe I forgot the Southern Hemisphere has its seasons reversed, and I didn't realise Sydney and the surrounding area got snow!
Sydney does not get snow. The Blue Mountains are 100km west.

'has it's seasons reversed' ? that's certainly an odd way to phrase it.
I have travelled over the Blue Mountains on the Indian Pacific on my way to Perth
Man must have bin pretty warm up there
Tarana station - nice!
Would have been lovely to travel through the BM's during that :)
Hi Phil.Was that you i saw taking pictures at Glenfield overpass on Wednesday 26th August?
Nice i was in Lithgow & Blackheath
nice!
I was considering taking a train up there and if I did i would have seen you!!!!!!!
How could he (Phil) if he was in the car if you saw it properly at the start.
Nice video
nice
Wow
I was at mount Victoria I caught V38 from there I was so close from seeing you in person if you were filming
Hows it going?
I'm a Trainlink driver and I often wonder, do you like when we pop the whistle? or can it ruin the video?
Hey mate :) i think it’s cool to get a horn blast :)
What car brand and make do you drive, Sydney Trains Vlogs?
Phil doesn't drive. He was a passenger.
I wish I could have gone but I couldn't due to Covid. Could there be anymore snow coming this year?
Tanara is not the Blue Mountains or part of the Sydney rail system.
It is actully is its on the Sydney trains map and part of the Bathurst bullet as it passes through and the blue mountains line service that goes to Lithgow sometimes and terminates at Lithgow and Bathurst same with the Bathurst bullet except ternimates at central instead of lithgow
At 2:02 U can see arches and remains of the zig zag railway
i have a house in bell
I live in Mt Vic!
@@deanpd3402 cool
I was there too
