Mate Fantastic. Love the old crossings in Newcastle. Clyde crossing shows the old Brambles Transport warehouse on one side and the old Gas Works offices on the other.
When I was in Australia in 2000, my aunt lived in Bowral and my cousins in Sydney, so I used the Campbeltown - Bowral train many times, so I crossed many times at the Douglas Park station junction. In 2015 I passed several through Corrimal when I was traveling to Wollongong 😃😃😃
I live just a block away from Hamilton station and it is a rare occurrence for a train other than that orange one to go through that crossing. Also, cargo trains will never cross there
Hi Phil, interesting video. I wasn't aware of these level crossings near Sydney. We have plenty of level crossings here in Melbourne, though they are now removing many of them bit by bit. Anyway, take care. Rob in Melbourne Australia.
If I can remember correctly, there is an unused gated level crossing signal sitting on the side of the train tracks somewhere near Petersham station in Sydney.
What crappy train horns you have in NSW. Phil you should come down to Melbourne & vlog some of our trains. Our train drivers are very horn happy in Victoria. Great video as always. 👍👍
I'm curious, do the individual railways have their own standards on bell operation at gated crossings? Seems like a mix of some where all bells ring continuously through the train event. Some have one bell that operates through while the other shuts off at gate down. The most unique one to me was East Richmond though, where the bells rang while the stopped train was just adjcent to the crossing and then turned off (less the ped alarm) after the train fouled the roadway. Makes me wonder if it's railway practice, or up to each maintainer's preferences.
Mate, you did really well to not witness any misdemeanours. Maybe your presence with camera made drivers / pedestrians behave lawfully. Crossings at Bellambi and Corrimal are often in the news with near misses and unfortunately more serious events. One observation, drivers are good at giving a horn blast but perhaps they should be consistent with the duration.
What I have noticed is that most of the trains in this episode are virtually devoid of any passengers. Does anybody use the system at all. Seems crazy to run 8 car sets when the trains are empty.
So many level crossings, but where were the ones at Faulconbridge Station, Parramatta Road Granville, or even the Royal National Park tramway crossing at Loftus?
I’m pretty sure that the guy didn’t have enough time to film all of those, considering how far Loftus is from Sydney, Parramatta road, Granville no longer exists.

That’s probably the strangest (and funniest) level crossing sound I’ve ever heard! 😂
What the? Howcome Melbourne trains don't go 80mph?
Yes I know
It sounds like it's low on batteries hahaha

gate: Move outta the way lady
lady: holy shit i didnt know the gate worked
I've seen something like that before. An ol' lady was pushed by the little swinging gate!
Love Australia, Trains and level crossing and off course your awesome video!!!
Thank you so much 😊😊
I'm aussie
This saves me spending all day down the road at the Paterson level crossing with my two year old.
Thank you 🙏😂
I must say, the crossing alarm at 20:30, I'm not sure if it should be considered hilarious or horrific!

It is meant to be like that.
Nice video!
That’s 20 level crossings in one video, 15 I recorded and 5 I haven’t recorded.
25:22 nice view.
Douglas Park is one of my fave locations to video
Me to
20:30 Sounds like a cat dying
You mean the rail beep
Probably what sans or boyfriend would sound like xD
My favourite bit was the one where you hear a plane! ;)

how about this level crossing in bunyip, Victoria, Australia. Watch this link. th-cam.com/video/ZpxFZwKMlrw/w-d-xo.html

Gotta love that a lot of the road crossings are right next to stations. The only one I've been to is warnervale though

General Holmes Drive will soon be replaced by a major project at Wentworth Avenue and Botany Rd.
The wait at Adamstown station loll
Michelle Severino yea the level crossing can take up to 10 minutes for the train to arrive!
Great content, love simple format videos.
Thank you mate :)
Love your videos, always Phil! Great job!
20:56 bells and horns so funny 😂😂😂😂
The thumbnail ♡
Haha cheers :)
@@sydneytrainsvlogs its beautiful.
Can u go to melb? it just down the Highway! xD
I was so tempted to come down this long weekend! Haha
Adamtown Station looks so busy that the intersection should just be grade-separated.
I assume that Minto and Fairy Meadow stations no longer have level Crossings
great thanks phil cheers bob.🤠😎
I have been to the location that is the thumbnail! the station is kembla Grange! Most trains soom past it.
The mascot one no longer exists.
In fact there are very few level crossings in Metropolitan Sydeny left.

Oooo
Great, now we all know of something else they do beiter in Melbourne.
Not sure if those sounders at woy woy belong on top of a pedestrian signal or in a duckpond!
I just saw one in Albion park
I liked how you used iMovie. That’s what I use.
You did Blackheath but not Faulconbridge? Pity, you would have driven past it on the way back down the mountain.
The sound is different compared to the sound in QLD and the crossing alarm at 25:20 is way more British and put full vol *WITH HEADPHONES* at 6:24
Have you heard of McK&H Aust.? He’s filmed plenty of crossings in NSW and VIC...
TrickyMario7654 I watch him heaps
Nice crossing at Dapto railway station 10:38

All are operated by NSW Trainlink or Sydney Trains.

Depends if commuter trains and which way they are going maybe
Interesting that there is no height gauge on the road approach for the overhead wires
Those bells sound similar to the bells here in the US
I don’t think so.
@@miauwgabriel3547 Australia has a mix of both US and British level crossing systems
@@HBC101TVStudios Maybe not British.
That is so cool! You have pedestrian boomgates?
Yea we do
Go to Narara station in central Coast and Newcastle line.
Excellent
The only crossing I've been to is warnervale station despite living by edmondson park station
love the vids keep up the great work
Awesome video! Love your vlogs as always!
From 16:50 through to around 20:00 I was getting seasick. You need a tripod.
That thumbnail is not a railway crossing from Sydney... it’s from Dapto, Near Wollongong. Overall, good video.
Phil does state that the vision is from in and AROUND Metro Sydney.
Could you do a vlog at Bundanoon?
So many level crossings, but where were the ones at Faulconbridge Station, Parramatta Road Granville, or even the Royal National Park tramway crossing at Loftus?
I’m pretty sure that the guy didn’t have enough time to film all of those, considering how far Loftus is from Sydney, Parramatta road, Granville no longer exists.
@@ethansNZtrains Loftus is a lot closer to Sydney than MANY other crossings shown, e.g. Dapto is around 90 minutes out.
@@flamingfrancis Fair, but he still probably had no time, he probably didn't even know the Loftus tramway crossing existed.

That freight train going through a loud AS F horn haha.
great vid
The Sydney train alarms are very annoying. I like the beeps of the ones in Brisbane instead
9:35 that’s where that tangara crash happened
Australian Level Crossings seem to be much more unsafe & avoidable than British ones
I don’t think so.
Australian ones look like American ones
@@coolcat-nq4mj 24:29 is very British
How can they be more unsafe given all the precautions in evidence here? Does England have pop up bollards or aircraft carrier style hook and bands?
I never been in Douglas Park😯
I subscribed.
There's one at Berry
The graffiti on V18 was terrible. And V18 is my favourite set.
Dangerous places!
