Goodness me! Trains are not usually like that, while Sydney is fixing the defects around the train network they should also check on the trains in my opinion. Good capture and nice work putting all your efforts to make your video. Thank you for posting about what happened to your train hope it gets fixed!
In an ideal world, TfNSW would grab the list of available seats on the Armidale service, which they should have, and be kind enough to allow enough people to get on the Explorer service to get to their destination and fill those available seats, as not everyone would be going to Broadmeadow. That would be too convenient though.
A way less extreme thing happened to me coming back from Newcastle on an Oscar. At Berowra we were stopped for around 5 minutes and I heard the ringing of the driver coming out of the front of the train and he spoke to staff at Berowra, but after about 5 minutes he got back in and it was business as usual. On Tripview it said there were "mechanical issues" but we weren't even told.
Exactly what I thought! I overheard one of the staff at Morisset saying to the passengers that it looks like they may have to diesel haul the train, they should of just decoupled the first 4 cars and had that hauled back to Sydney and everyone gets on the rear 4 cars! Poor planning from Sydney Trains, as expected...
Could there have been a lack of train drivers? i mean if the original driver carried on to newcastle with 4 car set, the defective train set would’ve been left stranded on the mainline
@@tld8102 There are two sidings and a short loop alongside the up main at Morriset, but I'm not sure if anything except the mains are electrified. If the good set had been able to shunt the failed set into the loop or a siding, then decouple, it could have been retrieved later.
If you forget to Tap Off aftrr a certain time period I think it's a few hours they will charge you the full adult fare. instead of charging you the distance travelled. which IIRC is around 8 bucks
Dude, get a job in the police force. The way you spot the driver at around 17:55, slow the video down and get them on camera was seriously straight out of CSI or one of those types of shows. Keep up the good work mate
It was a set swap, happens every Saturday (from memory) Newcastle runs 7 hunter trains and 2 Endeavour's (Normally) So every Saturday 1 of the Endeavours gets sent back to Sydney. Sometimes Newcastle needs more trains, and so more than one Endeavour comes up (which was the case here)
@@tld8102 Correct, though usually it would only have been a 2 car Endeavour. They usually have empty services follow passenger Service (when they have an empty service), Just in case there is an issue.
They were hiding the naff NIFs behind coal cars at Lithgow too, but if you get a replacement bus up towards Clarence you see what wasting a billion dollars looks like from above.
As an ex Railcorp driver I initially thought this train had overshot Wyee due to driver error of judgement as the train was coming into the station a bit too hard.
That was honestly lucky as well. The OSCar broke down and you get an endeavour as a replacement.
That Oscar was playing Waratah

oh my golly gumdrop no way
the trains don't receive as much maintenance as they should

The Amrimdale/Moree explorer is SOLD OUT FULL or next to it on a daily basis.
Lucky that it was on a Saturday, and that they needed an extra Endeavour up at Newcastle.
I suspect the front brakes had to be isolated in which if its a leading end a train cannot remain in service

Talking about Morriset, I once saw an XPT that stopped there.
thanks for the vid
It was an 8-car train, and not very crowded. They could have split the faulty four off and proceeded with the remaining four cars.

@@tsetstransport that goes against protocol as a 4+4 is considered one train until split at a depot

Can you please do Aberdeen?

Excellent 😂
I used to work for city rail aka Sydney trains & Favierly transport! These tangarras are passed their usebuy date !!!
@@peterkirgan2921 I’m presuming you mean the Oscar’s or V sets as no Tangaras were mentioned in this video.
H46 H14 Terminated at Cardiff
I’m still kind of confused what was the defect?
Issues with brakes, not entirely sure what exactly the issues were though.
Oh ok thanks
Where did they source the 4 car endeavour set from? how long did you have to wait. was the train just sitting in a siding or something

Newcastle runs 7 hunter trains and 2 Endeavour's (Normally)
So every Saturday 1 of the Endeavours gets sent back to Sydney.

@@notsureyou ohhh. So the endevour train just happened to be on its way up already.
@@tld8102 Correct, though usually it would only have been a 2 car Endeavour.

i can barely hear it
How….????
Are the h sets being turned into suburban or intercity
What do you mean?
They are currently Intercity,
Once the D sets come online, Plan A is for them to go to be purely Suburban.
Good vid
Did they say what was wrong with it
They were hiding the naff NIFs behind coal cars at Lithgow too, but if you get a replacement bus up towards Clarence you see what wasting a billion dollars looks like from above.
Wow! All you wanted to do was to try and film a journey video and they turned out that you were filming a breakdown
“A very fancy way of saying EARRAPE INCOMING” couldn’t have said that better myself🤣🤣
Probably ATP fault
Hello
I was in the second car on Oscar and I heard the horn a lot
1:52 I’ve never seen Central Station that quiet!
That was intense for you, TsetTransport?
You went in the zigzag 1:40
How did the train break down? How was it defective?
If you watch to the end, it will explain the full situation and what happened. 😊
@@tsetstransport Thanks, I saw
@@BossboyGaming What's the time stamp?
As an ex Railcorp driver I initially thought this train had overshot Wyee due to driver error of judgement as the train was coming into the station a bit too hard.
We were onboard an 8 carriage train and Wyee is SP6. :)
As such, it’s not an overrun, it’s a “short platform”
Where would driver take broke down train to
Most likely Gosford or another depot/maintainence facility
@@adamrh20Correct me if I’m wrong but maybe H sets could be taken to Eveleigh or Mortdale but i could be wrong
@@tamworthtrainnut285that’s a long way to go when it’s defective
What were you on the Central Coast and Newcastle Line for?
Watch to the end to hear why. :)
@@tsetstransport yeah sorry I got cut off mid-video. I had to go to the train station to finish lol
12 years of mis-management des this. Sadly little is improving.
