ONYA Mate, but...Please, if you can, please insert the station name somewhere on the screen so that us 'former' Steak&Kidney types will be able to see where you are.....Cheers ,,, Griffo, Perth.
all the trains you see in this video are only used in Sydney, only Sydney uses double decker trains. Other cities in Australia use different trains and they are not shown in this video, so this video is only showing trains in Sydney specifically, not the whole Australia.
The story of the xpts: XPT: IM SO FAST HHAAHAHA SONIC Hunter set: ;( I'm only 2 cars Fright train: hahahahhaa hunter I'm like 34 cars long (estimate) V set: I'm bored
Phil...here's a suggestion that many o/s commenters might like and perhaps make them want to visit more. What about a video that shows some of the brilliant scenery we have.....even within two hours out of Sydney. Some remarkable vision around the Hawkesbury and especially around Scarborough and Stanwell Park.
I've been on some Oscars, that were Hamilton expresses, they have a pretty fast run (100+ km/h) generally between Eastwood and Strathfield, maybe get some of those faster ones when you're in that area next...
Mitchell Theobald They do that sometimes at high speed... My opinion: They're a pretty good train other than that shaking... I think West Ryde is one of a few places Phil should of included.
Agreed with Eastwood to Strathfield - especially around Rhodes. Woy Woy tunnel to Woy Woy station is faster. Express from Gosford to Tuggerah gets up there too. But the rest of the Central to Wyong trip is pretty slow going.
Hi Phil! Being from Canada it's always nice to see the trains from Assie Land. Since you and your fellow commenters can't possibly see all of the train videos I'd like to pass along the names of some vids that you may really love. 1) 4K Passenger Trains Galore, and 2) - 4K Freight Trains Galore (posted by: trainfart). These two vids have great Swiss scenery. 3) 4K Quadcopter Train Video of Rockville Bridge (posted by: Super Trains). Super Trains also has many more vids worth checking out. 4) Canada: Trains Through Black Canyon - British Columbia and, 5) Canada's Canyon's - Trains Through The Thompson River Canyon (posted by: SantaFe5811), along with his many other neat vids. Enjoy and take care!
Before anyone else criticises, THESE ARE NOT HIGH SPEED TRAINS!!!!! This is fast for our trains and most can go faster. It's the restrictions that affect it due to the terrain.
The biggest countries have the slowest train; Canada, U.S., Russia, Australia, Brazil, with the exception of China. There is something wrong with that.
Our major cities in Australia are so far apart that unless there's a good reason, we fly. In the video, the so-called intercity trains are actually going to minor towns in the same state (NSW), and invariably take longer than driving. The XPTs go further, but take an absurdly long time, and are not much used - you might have noticed how short they are. Every now and then, the idea of building a true high-speed line down the east coast (Brisbane, Sydney, Canberra, Melbourne) is floated, but the economics never seem to stack up. Sydney to/from Melbourne is one of the densest air routes in the world, but at 900km apart, building a railway that people will use instead of flying is difficult.
There is nothing wrong with slower trains. High speed trains increase suction and are dangerous when speeding through platforms. Their high speeds can suck a child standing on the platform, killing it. Try high speed trains in tunnels, feel the air being vacuumed or pushed out. Plus, in Australia temperatures reach up to 45C and at that heat the bogies bearings can heat quite high if they're rolled at high speeds fully loaded, resulting in early seizure and lack of grease from overheating, especially more if they're subjected to all that clanking (7:28) which further increases wear and tear from additional hammering to the bearings.
Lol ur wrong, there is a Russian train called the sapsan and its fast AF. I understand ur point of Australia though, because qld rails fastest only goes 140 km/h, the same as the Netherlands COMMUTER trains. lol. Imagine that. Australian high speed is dutch commuter speed! XDDDDS
If you are going to get back to Vic, there is a great spot in Ballarat East to get the trains going through quite fast, as speed limit there is 160km/h. Right opposite Ballarat Secondary College East Campus.
The power cars of the XPTs are slightly modified from the HST; amongst mechanical changes is a reduction in power as the lines would not take the speed of an XPT. The passenger carriages are totally different.
The XPT power car is basically a HST power car except the XPT is slightly shorter, slightly less powerful (by about 250hp) regeared for 99mph revenue service (160kph) but improved suspension and cooling systems, and of course different carriages. The XPT is also unique in the sense that it runs with sleeping carriages whereas the HST does not
Sadly the maximum speed of trains in Australia (at least NSW where I live) hasn't increased in the decades since i was a child. So slow. Trains are even the same crappy old trains, those XPT's. No progress at all. A very much neglected part of transport in Australia.
Looks like at 4:34, the track on Platform 3 at Thornleigh, has quite a few dips and seems to need track maintenance. I guess the stress of many fast passing trains xD
Could you please do Part 2? This time at Sector 2 areas (T2 Inner West & Leppington, T3 Bankstown and T8 Airport/East Hils & South Lines)? Especially on the East Hills Line. But include Sectors 1 and 3 too.
Train speeds in Australia are somewhat depressing. The interurban Virgin Pendolino is capable of 233 kph, normally run at 200 kph and get you to London from 90 km out in 35 minutes after slowing to 160 kph for the tunnels. Even the Class 43 (equivalent to the XPT) normally runs at 200 kph on country lines. Please NSW Trainlink please go back to the two blues livery, that new orange livery is disgusting.
Not so much that the trains are slow, but that the tracks are slow. Even the old XPTs can do 160 kph all day if the track were straighter. Sydney is surrounded by difficult terrain in all directions (Hawkesbury, Blue Mtns, Sth Highlands) and many of the tracks were really only designed for shipping farm produce in the steam era. There's little incentive to improve as the major centres are so far apart that air travel is easier.
i HATE the orange livery, the yellow and blue was so much nicer to look at and actualy fit the train, unlike the orange where they have tried to make it look like all the others
These types of near empty stations are in India too. But not this clean. People Chew Pan and spit all over the place, One more thing- There is hardly any people in ur country, but why then these Double Decker trains? Where its is really needed (cities like Bombay)its not implemented..Even a Mobile Charger is not getting charged when you insert into any sockets even in A/C coaches! So I had to get down at a station and charge
They are double decker to provide more seats. I know Indian trains to become extremely full with more than half the passengers standing. If they got rid of most of the seats in these trains then it would almost triple the number of people they can carry. Only people like to sit.
In Aussie Freight Trains There is no Guard's cabin. But my fiend is not believing. So I downloading this Video to show him. By the way, whats this station name?
Swamynathan Iyer, I can assure you that some of the trains do not have guards cabins. The guards will be in the other drivers seat at the end of the train (4cars), or in between the 2 connected trains (8cars). As each drivers cabin has a set of door controls, the drivers can access the controls as well if needed.
Six XPT Trains pass through Meadowbank everyday. Three in each direction. Route 33 runs early in the morning to Casino, Route 35 runs early in the afternoon to Grafton and route 31 runs mid-afternoon to Brisbane. The return trips are usually the opposite.

Sydney trains vlog I suscribe
Nice to see the train driver acknowledge you and give his lights a flash as he approached you at 4:05...
The fastest train had to be K98 at 5:39. Not even the speed of light could keep up with that K set. Unbelievable.
I know so fast!!!
I went to Bunnings such speed!😂😂
Damn
how do you mean i saw nothing?
It is K98
At 5:38 I swear the train nearly broke the sound barrier 😳💨
The variety of trains in Sydney’s Intercity networks is vast, and I suppose NIF D-Sets will be quite fast. Great video and thumbnail!
The trains can go faster. The issue is the tracks in NSW
Correct-NSW has too many bends (straighter routs=faster trains!:)
Yes China trains are faster than that.
@@wendycai2367 it’s also an issue with the type, of tracks, what they are on, that’s why the limit for any track no matter how straight is 160km/h
Steve Han what does that have to do with Australian trains
Omg its JackUltraMotive lol (no offense)
Thanks!
Thank you so much mate!
Your support is greatly appreciated 😊
5:38 fastest train you’re welcome
So fast
You can barely see the train its going so fast!
Frickin scary mate
Toby1kenobi ikr faster than a truck
Train: i am speed
From the other side of the world, UK, I congratulate you showing the many different types of trains Australia has . A beautiful watch.
Thank you so much for watching mate! 😊

have a look at melbournes variety
Hi phil I love your videos thank you
Very much I just subbed like 2 months ago and liked
Hi there!
Thank you :)
I’m a really big fan
I think the Newcastle Flyer hauled by 3801 set the speed record for Newcastle to Sydney way back in 1964...just under two hours and five minutes..
I've been on a XPT ( if you don't know what what train that is, this is what it looks like: 0:53) from Taree to Newcastle.
I have been on that particular XPT at 0:53 to Bathurst
You should go to elimbah in QLD where the tilt trains go past at 160
I plan to visit there one time in the holidays
dan b
It's EMU 83 Nah they still should
It's EMU 83 i've been on a tilt train going through and they show the speed they are going inside and it always says 160, even sometimes 162
The story of the xpts:
XPT: IM SO FAST HHAAHAHA SONIC
Hunter set: ;( I'm only 2 cars
Fright train: hahahahhaa hunter I'm like 34 cars long (estimate)
V set: I'm bored
NIFD set: allow me to introduce myself
Xpt: I'm so fast
Avelia liberty: hold my airhorns.
Eurostar: Finally.. a worthy opponent. Our battle will be legendary.
Pendolino: NO DONT DO IT
Class 374 Eurostar e320: Brother.. Shut up. im better.

The unmistakble sound of "The next train does not ...." Nice compilation. These hit 100 kph around Rhodes if I'm not mistaken
I've been on some Oscars, that were Hamilton expresses, they
have a pretty fast run (100+ km/h) generally between Eastwood and Strathfield,
maybe get some of those faster ones when you're in that area next...
at 130 in them, the seats violently shake between dapto and albion park, line speed 145
Mitchell Theobald They do that sometimes at high speed...
My opinion: They're a pretty good train other than that shaking... I think West Ryde is one of a few places Phil should of included.
D Mack i catch them every day to uni. stay in the quiet carriage and you dont hear a thing, not even wheel noise.
Mitchell Theobald I'll try that next time I'm on one,
Agreed with Eastwood to Strathfield - especially around Rhodes. Woy Woy tunnel to Woy Woy station is faster. Express from Gosford to Tuggerah gets up there too. But the rest of the Central to Wyong trip is pretty slow going.

😢😢😅
most of the trsins in nsw are lucky to reach 110km.. qld tilt trains reach 160km
7:27 ive been on that exact XPT before
Looks classy
What happened to V6’s wiper 6:29 😂
Nice weather you have there over here, England it's freezing cold
freezing cold is much better than boiling hot

i used to think australian trains went so fast until i went to the uk, great vid
They can go faster it’s just the rails, Plus the japanese bullet train is faster than UK trains and trains must slow down when passing a station.
We dont talk about japan@@blank.376.
Oh this is fantastic! Just makes me want to visit.
+MKT Transport Video Thank you :)
I already love here but in victoria
Great video Phil, keep up the great work
Thank you Jennifer! :)
I hope you’re going well!
@@sydneytrainsvlogs Geoff and myself are going well, still travelling around NSW, I stay in contact with Travis regularly 😀🚄
Great Video my friend... All the best from Romania❤🚂❤🚂
Excellent video and at least the trains are safe and slow!
You need to do a vlog on the South Coast Line (Wollongong, Kiama, Bomaderry
Beautiful miss traveling in Sydney rail to Gordon from Homebush
Great video! Always fascinating to see trains from Down Under :)
Beautiful trains with easy watching video
Thank you :)
In the UK,our version of the hst will be retired by 2021, as replacements have started entering service earlier this year
Its with scotrail nowa

Juan Garcia Some of the Russian trains go over at 150 mph at their cruising speed and the others go at 125 mph so they aren't that slow
It's cheaper to fly between capital cities in Australia

'Trains at speed these trains a slower than a tortoise
up to 170km/hr near Henty, The Rock NSW at times was told...Sprinters in Vic 120 max
i love trains but even more i love the double trains or the fast trains or the overnight ones
The thing is, you can't film a "Trains at Speed" video somewhere, where there are no fast trains.
+Bahnspotter they are at speed sorta
BahnSpotter you can say that becuase have you been here have you seen the trains they are fast
Joe Conway correct
They go faster in real life trust me
for me trains above 65 are "at speed" 110 is high speed 186 very high speed
Like the xpt they just like the class 43 that pass me in the uk everyday
That's cos' it's based on the 43 ;)
Lol not anymore you got shit Japanese tin cans passing you now.
The power cars of the XPTs are slightly modified from the HST; amongst mechanical changes is a reduction in power as the lines would not take the speed of an XPT. The passenger carriages are totally different.
Trains at Speed - Australia but its slowed down a lot.
Some of the horns sound like ones you would get in the uk.
Do it with 2X speed! The trains are at the speed I like!
e
Are all the trains air conditioned in Australia? if the windows are permanently closed, how would the passengers inside bear the heat in summers?
yep, the trams are too.
Sydney trains have always had it since the 80s. Excluding the S sets, dubbed "sweat sets" which had fixed windows AND no aircon
Terrific catches!
The maximum speed limit for XPT, Xplorer, J sets, N sets, A sets, B sets, M sets and D sets have a maximum speed limit of 160km/h
I’ve made my own TH-cam channel of trains and it all started off because you thank you
Enjoyed the video from Canada
Thank you for watching :)
I think you edited the fast ones out. Nice videography though and the weather was pleasant to see.
Stood under a train in Queensland last week
Wait... Australia has Valenta HSTs? Waaattt???
The XPT power car is basically a HST power car except the XPT is slightly shorter, slightly less powerful (by about 250hp) regeared for 99mph revenue service (160kph) but improved suspension and cooling systems, and of course different carriages. The XPT is also unique in the sense that it runs with sleeping carriages whereas the HST does not
Phoenix Gaming what number
Yup
@@nickrowe7451 mhm...
I love your videos
Idk why the first train has a resemblance to the class 43 don't you think
Our XPT’s were based off the Class 43’s i believe.
They were actually based off of class 125’s from what I’ve heard
cool train video!
It's a shame we'll never get high speed rail in australia. If we had high speed rail, you could go from brisbane to sydney in under 4 hours.
:( get the XPT at 160 or the tilt train at 160
the 1st one looked like a HST but modified lol
Josh RBLX it is a reworked HST. They have to rework the engine's to deal with the heat and dust.
XPT.
Sadly the maximum speed of trains in Australia (at least NSW where I live) hasn't increased in the decades since i was a child. So slow. Trains are even the same crappy old trains, those XPT's. No progress at all. A very much neglected part of transport in Australia.
Marvelous video
Looks like at 4:34, the track on Platform 3 at Thornleigh, has quite a few dips and seems to need track maintenance. I guess the stress of many fast passing trains xD
Why train never use P1 then
Thanks for all the videos of all over the place. I think you started and finished at Tara was it? I managed to catch a few of the station names.
Excellent concept and great video. Thank you.

I was at WARNAVALE 3 days later🙂
WARNERVALE....after Mr. Warner.
Great compilation mate 😎
another excellent Video Phil, keep up the good work
WOW!!! Cool speed.
5:38 yea cool speed
Xplorer to broken hill sits on 145km for most of the way between Parkes n broken hill....why don't they use the xpt 160..
+Paul Russell Oh cool!
XPT's are ageing so they aren't allowed to go as fast as they use to.
also track might not be suitable for high speeds especially on hot days.
Sydney Trains Vlogs our older HST 43s are still doing 125mph/200kph all day they're more than capable it's what they was designed for
That is because they continued to maintain those trains. Here they can't be stuffed and the tracks are falling apart.
That's cause they don't need to run an xpt as the broken hill train isn't popular as such
Yay I saw the Bathurst Bullet!
Could you please do Part 2? This time at Sector 2 areas (T2 Inner West & Leppington, T3 Bankstown and T8 Airport/East Hils & South Lines)? Especially on the East Hills Line. But include Sectors 1 and 3 too.
when do the "trains at speed" arrive? these are slower than bikes!
They can go at 160kmh
L
he didnt ask how fast they can go, these trains are clearly nowhere near 160km
2812 Adam wait till you see a VLocity passing Little River, Victoria, Australia.
Plus these trains can go as fast as Amtrak trains in America.
I noticed the other day that there are new display screens as minimurra on the south coast. I never have time to stop. Could u check them out?
Good video👍👍👍

you caught a lot of the older EMUs! I think they look better than the newer ones (But not the type at 6:48!)
Why trains have very less number of coaches???

where's Queensland trains? I'm only asking that because i live in Queensland.
Cause it's in nsw
Wow so beautiful my dear friend I'm from India 🇮🇳🙏🙏🙏
Imagine Queensland trains in New South Wales
