Sydney Trains Vlogs Trains at Speed Australia 2 #trains #railway #railroad Check out Trains at Speed 1: • Trains at Speed - Aust... Filmed on dates from mid 2018 through to May 2019
This is good but there are spots wherein the Xpts and Xplorers will hit top speed or close to it (160 and 145 kph respectively). Relatively accessible ones are the straight just west of Goulburn (up to where Breadalbane used to be -- there's a little side road that'll get you super close to the Xpts), and Tarro (Hunter region halfway between Broadmeadow and Maitland) has 160kph through the station (even the southbound bend has 150kph). Anything west of Condobolin will have the Xplorer cruising at top speed. Bundanoon has 135kph through the station, and so all freight will hit top speed through it (although Xplorers stop).
Yep I do Casino to Broadmeadow regularly and the fastest stretch is Tarro about 9 hour into the journey. Most is from 50 to 100kmph. Definitely felt like 150-160 or even more on that Tarro stretch. They should atleast do 1 upgrade to that north coast line or get some tilt trains to bring it closer to driving time. It's currently 2h30m slower than driving at around 9h30m. Roughly an upgrade of 40-50% speed would bring it up to driving time and actually become a competitor to highways.
4:30 I saw the original HST this is based off, going full pelt when I was in London 20 years ago and it was immediately apparent how repressed the XPT is in our conditions!!
The main issue in NSW is the track curvature, which would cost huge amounts of money to fix. Tilt trains could do better on some routes while still being limited to 160km/h (two hours off Sydney to Armidale, for example), but the NSW government has no interest in reducing journey times on the regional routes, because that would just encourage more passengers, and would risk demanding more trains. They are heavily subsidised.
Sylvia Else they probably looked at Victoria when they upgraded their tracks and reduced curves then realised that when patronage tripled on all but 4 country lines they stuffed up and have had to continuosly order new trains.... from 29 new to 72 (more on order) and trains are still packed... some lines are at track capacity and, especially the Geelong line, the minimum passenger load is 96% in peak hours... the NSW gvt would have said no thanks since Victoria has had to spend billions more than Sydney on their network also due to decades of neglect from Victoria
Sylvia Else hence Victoria still runs loco hauled inter urban trains. It also didn’t help that they singled one of the busiest routes for half the journey. So future growth on that line will be limited by the new restrictions that were imposed by the government when they totally didn’t have to.
Just happened to be in France, and have just taken the TGV from Bordeaux to Paris in 2h 15 min. We in the States have a lot of catching up to do in regards to trains....
Good video :) I live in Castle Hill so I like to go to Pennant Hills station sometimes and see trains from afar and get closer and closer and see the trains zoom by or stop but I mainly go to watch the ones that don't stop and zoom by most of the time :) and thar station is closer to my area so pretty quick getting too :) There's other stations that can see from afar but Pennant Hills is the closest one so I just go there mainly :)
Nice video. I am concerned at the short time between the crossing barriers closing and the train passing the crossing in Australia compared to the UK (and probably mainland Europe) 4:13
Don't think any of them were over 115 judging by the wheel noise over the track joints. Shame they slowed all the speed limits in the metro area now that most trains can do 115+
how common is it to see an indian pacific loco on freight trains? (7:45) ive seen pacific national locos being used to carry the indian pacific but the IP livery on a freight train is a bit odd hah
thing is melbourne local/commuter trains are not that fast melbourne focuses on tram not train, me after coming back from japan realises that japan local trains run high speeds like xpts on straight lines and bullet trains runs the speed of an xpt in 10 secs so Now i realise australaia needs to improve.
Metropolitan Gamer The Comeng can easily do 115 and they do on some lines. Metropolitan services generally don’t go as fast as regional trains, due to closeness of most stations.
p c No, but these are trains on a city metropolitan network. This is plenty fast enough for trains going through stations where people can be standing on platforms with no barrier between them and the train. This footage appears to be shot after hours or on weekends and on suburban stations. There can be times with quite a lot of people on platforms. On weekdays driving from the CBD to Parramatta can take up to 40-50 minutes and the train takes about 25 minutes so they are a good option.

Yes the maximum operation speeds for XPT and Xplorers are 160 and 145 kmph. But to anyone who is a high-speed train fan those speed are quite boring.

The horn on that XPT is a lovely sound!
I actually wanted to see Trains at Speed Australia 2 and I'm glad to see it here, especially on the East Hills line which I wanted to see.
3:44 that V Set horn 😍😍😍
4:24 that XPT horn 😍😍😍
I love this video

Blink and you'll miss it!
It’s just relaxing to look at traind

Nice
the moree train is cool but the double ones and overnight ones are better
4:14 that crossing gate was faster than the trains
Something I am so Interested I love fast trains
Great stuff, Thanks!
Tangara Sets T72 and T106 were out yesterday testing so we may see them in service in a few weeks
When you do part 3 can you do the same thing like you did in movie 3 and great video
Only on youtube that trains and speed meet in Australia.
Nice video. I am concerned at the short time between the crossing barriers closing and the train passing the crossing in Australia compared to the UK (and probably mainland Europe) 4:13
Wow 12K subs nice haven't watched in ages
Same
Cool video
4:14 that pedestrian crossing gate slammed down! That’s not very safe
Nice video 👏🏻
Nice video
Will there be a Sydney Trains Vlogs The Movie 4?
Where’s the QR tilt train and V/line vlocity?
Exactly. Not that high speed in NSW since the tracks are spaghetti beyond the suburban area.
Aussie Gunzel the Prospector should be in this video too.
Yeah
12k subs. Nice!
Trains at Speed NSW*
Awesome video, just love them!👍🏻
I was watching a train video and apparently they pushed 160km out of a camshaft v set
At 7:05 a Tangara blew it's horn! I've always wanted to know what the Tangara horn was but now I do.
*T-SET! THAT'S IT'S NAME!*
@@w_avor foamer?

Ahhhhhh I put on 2x speed
In Melbourne trains were much slower and we don't run that many Express trains
Yah it’s 2020 in lockdown right it’s the 3rd of may when posting this comment

Happens from time to time if needed. Sometimes you can catch the Ghan or Southern Spirit loco pulling freight as well.
this is literally just sydney. not australia.
Sydney is in Australia. mInd bLowN
never thought of it that way
3:00 the waratah is a secret high speed train!
hi su tart from rblx
@@w_avorhi no one asked
@@w_avorjk
Have you recorded a 6 car T Set from '89?
You should re-edit this video with DEJA VU from Initial D and make it sound EPIC
Lol! That’d be cool
@@sydneytrainsvlogs Memes for days
4:25
is not 3801
Are you able to do peak hour at Concord West?
i heard theres gonna be new nsw trainlink trains that will enter service sometime around later this year or mabye next year
good video aswell
Trains don't go faster than 160 km/h in Australia.
In Denmark even regional trains and stuff normally hits 180 km/h
And it looks like there are still some V sets lurking around
Oforid222 Official especially on the T1 line
I guess so
HELllo!!! love ur vids
Congratulations on 12k subscribers. What's the all the locations on filming
Urgh... that Endeavour sounded a bit painful. Nice old flatspot there.
wdym by flatspot
VLocitys in Vic get up to 160
So does the new Prospector railcars and the electric tilt train in Queensland.
thing is melbourne local/commuter trains are not that fast
melbourne focuses on tram not train,
me after coming back from japan realises that japan local trains run high speeds like xpts on straight lines and bullet trains runs the speed of an xpt in 10 secs
so Now i realise australaia needs to improve.
Galxtron yah mostly the old Comengs there over 20 years old!
And there slow 😢😭

High Speeding Train, Like A Japanese Bullet Train (Shinkansen)
nope, high speed train like 160 km/h, which is fast for Australia's standards.
Hunter Railcar, I Think XPT's New World Record High Speed Trains
No record for Aussies
@@legass420 No, The fastest speed in Australia is 215 kilometers per hour.
@@miauwgabriel3547 Could you tell me where?
Its 07:13 in London
This is not in london. This is in Australia.
Wow Pretty Fast Trains NSW Has Japan has way Better Faster Trains I Live in Japan in Tokyo I know English and Japanese mostly japanese
3:30 what station is that
looks like revesby
William Kulcsar It is Revesby, can confirm as a local.

Yep I'm Aussie.....and the trains here don't really go much faster than that here.....fair dinkum cobber
@@jamieharmer5654 The fastest train in Australia is queensland tilt train and can reach up to 215 kilometers per hour.
Amazing video Phil, I just made some vlogs aswell if you have a minute to spare I think it’s worth checking out, thanks :)
