It looks real good
Not a bad shot of the new Light rail testing
Good video Phil
Thanks phill for video was a another great one cheers mate😊
Thank you! :)
Hi Phil, excellent video. It is absolutely fabulous seeing light rail trams running in Parramatta. Especially since the previous tram system there, which was steam, disappeared after its closure in March 1943. Incidentally, how far would the Parramatta train station be from the Metro station, or do they share the same location? I am now wondering if light rail will ever be introduced to Kogarah, reviving some of the former tram memories there?? Kogarah had a steam tram system until 1937. Anyway, take care. Rob in Melbourne Australia.
great ep cant wait for it to open to the public
Thanks for the video phil gonna love it

A great video
Thank you :)
@@sydneytrainsvlogs welcome
Excited video today at Parramatta 👍👍👍👍
Cheers :)
Commenting on my birthday love your videos
Happy Birthday! 🥳🎁🎉
Thank you for watching :)
The trams don't have the floor based power sources on the floors or an overhead wiring.. Do they run on battery like the Newcastle ones?
They must've only done it as far as Ngara because that has a crossover. Let's give it a month before we see an increase of more trams testing between Rosehill & Westmead
I’ll definitely be out and about for it once testing increases :)
Same, I'll definitely head out that way to get more footage of the testing along that section :)
Nice spotting phill
Cheers! :)
I was at Prince Alfred Square when it came past to Westmead, then caught it coming into Westmead. Then I was at Fennell Street when it came back. I do feel there’s a bit of excitement in the air now that they’re testing during the day. People can see final product now. I can’t wait until it’s ready to go
Saw another video of the trams along the carlingford line segment. I thought the speed they were moving before was going to be their service speed, but they're moving more than twice as fast now. Good to see.
Thanks for updates. See you at the Crows Nest open day?
All good mate! Thank you for watching :)
I wont make it to this one unfortunately
Hi Phil! I saw the Parramatta Light Rail test today as well!
Also in your next video can you do a video at epping?
Lets call it the parramatta eel
Good vid, good to see the progression. But rather stupid to plunk the powerhouse on a flood plain.
Is the Parramatta light rail running like the Newcastle light rail? Where the trams charge at the tram stop
Sydney Metro West… Well Isn’t that a pip? 😂😂😂
6:33 Hi-vis worker on the left be like “SEND DAT SHIT BOIS”🤣🤣
Wow so cool I am so excited for the Parramatta light rail 🚈 to open
This must be very important to upload today it seems like.
Not important, i just wanted it up today
First like and comment
You’re quick :)
@@sydneytrainsvlogsI know! Whenever you upload a video I always try to be the first person to like and comment!
Is the Parramatta Light Rail a bi-mode train like the CBD ones as I noticed the pantograph was not raised and if so I was wondering how it gets power on this section of tracks?
There are other sections in the full route that have overhead wires feeding electricity into the tram to enable wireless sections like this one.
Good video Phil! I may be an out of Towner (but grew up near Parra). I thought this light rail was meant to be open more than a year ago?? Is there a date when passenger services will commence?
@@ozzyace71 Yes every government project gets way over budget and way over time. We're looking at August opening at this stage apparently.
How far is the tram stop from Parramatta station? Is it called the L4? If only you could get on a tram! Watching your video makes me want to hop on one!
There’s one on Macquarie Street around 200-300m from Parra station, and it looks like it’ll be called L4, but that could change if they add any more near the city
@@patrickc211They should just make all light rail and metro train lines chronological because they are not like buses whose bus numbers services and routes keep changing!
Hi , why are there no overhead wires for the trams?
The sections of the line through Parramatta CBD are wire free - the trams run on battery power
is it just me or is the panto not up and there's not electricity lines above the tram
its battery
Just curious, Phil, at 9:20 what is the structure underneath the front of the leading car?
anticlimber
Hey when you pointed out about the signs you realise people will still ignore the signs and walk around with there heads buried in their phones, there will be a lot of near misses I predict
Hi Phil 👋 I really enjoyed this video, but I worry for the safety of the Parramatta plebs who are not yet accustomed to having trams running through their city. I can envisage the population falling heavily onto the light rails and feeling a little "run down" after their inevitable confrontation with a rather heavy light rail vehicle. I think some protesting will happen after many citizens will find out that being run down by an electric tram is a rather shocking experience. The trams will, of course, raise their pantographs occasionally in order to counteract their loss of power over the situation and to get all charged up to defend themselves against the protesters. I hope the whole project stays on track long enough for you to capture the opening ceremony, after which you can have a well-deserved coffee or two. I am disappointed that you won't be at Crows nest because I was hoping to meet you so you would know the idiot that writes these ridiculous comments 🙄 😑 😂. Great video. Well done, Phil 👏 👍
Ccol
Thank you :)
IM sorry but those trams are so ugly.
How rude
They are clean
That's nothing. Wait until you see us Westies riding on it.
