@@punktravelz nice!

Thanks mate! I have so much more coming especially over these school holidays, I've filmed A LOT of content on the T3 and I'm really excited to get this out to you guys!! (LOTS of K sets in a few of them!!)

⁠@@SydneyTrainspottersounds amazing, I’ll make sure to tune in.

This happened the Friday before this video clip was recorded at Redfern where I was filming .

@@robertmcfadyen9156 one of the B sets was a Revesby service which was diverted. One of the Campbelltown B sets was diverted as well where it was originally meant to go to the airportlink but instead went around the inner city circle and via Sydenham. These are all rare sights. Destos don’t always speak for themselves :) All services featured in this video are heavily late running as well

recall the last time you saw an all stops to Revesby service going via Sydenham! Trackwork weekend? Been a while hasn’t it.

@@SydneyTrainspotter The station information at Sydenham was incorrect , stating that the train I was on was meant to go to Liverpool via Bankstown . Several customers were displaced as the train unexpectedly took us to MacArthur . I alighted at Glenfield to get a connection via Granville to Lidcombe . The service to MacArthur was K82 / 92 .

@@SydneyTrainspotter I was at Redfern at that stage , and our information from station staff was different to what you were receiving .

@@EricYu1 oh I didn’t even notice haha! I saw it the other day on the Bankstown line too :)

@@SydneyTrainspotter A15 and A42 is the set doesn’t have it’s original part

@@robertmcfadyen9156 interesting!

@@alonzotransportandgaming no worries mate, there’s 2 more stations that I’ve filmed these at!

@@cishShorts-4586 indeed. I’m on my way there to film today :)

@@RGC198 thanks mate! Yeah I have 2 more videos on the City Circle like this one coming that also have a few more cancelled services - this video was filmed on the same day as the T3 heritage expo day too! The escalators are pretty long too at Circular Quay and overcrowding is often an issue since there is only one escalator per direction (unlike stations such as Town Hall, which have one on each end)

@@MainTransportvlogs no. Basically in there will be city circle via Sydenham services AND MacArthur via east hills services. In the afternoon park, there will be city via Sydenham services only. In both cases normal airport trains will run too! There’s a good video abt this that I’ll link to u so just hold on a second

@@MainTransportvlogs ua-cam.com/video/Tp-iUO8fkB0/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared

@@SydneyTrainspotterso will the local train between sydneham and city circle still operate during the new timetable?

@@MainTransportvlogs I believe so. The timetable change hasn't yet been updated on my database Currently it's showing that during the time period between this Monday and when the T6 opens, the T8 Sydenham shuttle service will operate - however afterwards its actually showing T4 trains stopping at those stations. So basically, they're alternating between trains that stop at St Peters and trains that stop at Erskineville. Instead of stopping at BOTH stations, T4 line trains will stop at only one or the other (depending on the route it takes at Sutherland). its interesting though, I think they're using T4 services as a temporary solution for the moment - at least until the new timetable is ready with T8 services through those stations! The timetable change is on October 20th, I think that from when the T6 runs to October 20, we will see T4 trains stopping at St Peters & Erskineville (Not both, but either one of them). NOTE: The database I'm on goes till October 16, the changes are on October 20 so its a 4 days wait :)

ill have to dig deeper to answer your broader question though, because on my system its showing that from October 6 to October 16, T4 trains will stop at those stations and the T8 shuttle will cease to exist for that time period. I'm very curious too! Not sure if this actually has relevance to the T6 or not.

@@MajdIbrahim-f6t thanks mate

On peak hours only.

@@cishShorts-4586 never said it’s a rare sight :)

@@cishShorts-4586 its the south coast intercity line actually

@@dulcinealee3933 this video was around 2-3 weeks before the Martin Place S set service!

@@BigBlueMan118 so true!

@@was9503RBLXNewAccount industrial action was blamed lol

@@SydneyTrainspotter oh yes.

I forgot sorry.

Cap

@@cishShorts-4586 when was this?

@@SydneyTrainspotter Yesterday night, I was passing rockdale station and i stopped the car to trainspot and i did and saw a b set going into rockdale for hurstville service.

@@Chadtransportvolgs Keep thinking that it is cap

@@cishShorts-4586 no B sets ran on the T4 yesterday - NIF D Sets tested and you may have mistaken one of those for it

It will be 4 car millennium M sets (same as T5 and T7)

@@SydneyTrainspotter yes but I was just suggesting about it as it gets boring when it always having 4 cr m set can be boring

2022 middle of the year

@@SydneyTrainspotter ohhh

@@TatumLambourne thank you!

@@electro_sykes there isn’t really space along the T3 corridor for a dive sight that can go under the existing Sydney trains station though, I do find your vision interesting though! The T6 will be run by 4 car M sets

The metro conversion to Liverpool would be a bit too costly I’d imagine? Whereas metro to Macarthur or Glenfield would be easier to build since everything is still fairly open. Being someone living in Glenfield I love the idea of having access to both airports via the train with only a 15 min walk away from the station. Just build two new metro platforms with walkways to connect to existing Sydney train network, similar to what Bankstown station is doing today.

They may convert more in the future but the major shared corridors look like central to parramatta, would be impossible to convert

@@cishShorts-4586 no, just the T3. Only reason the T3 was converted is because they didn’t want to end the line too close to the city (Sydenham) and were choosing between Hurstville & Bankstown. Ultimately Bankstown was chosen

They need more capacity going along that corridor during peak - this is the answer to that.

@@declanwinchester5146 Yeah and file reports showed a surge in demand for public transport in both the T3 and T4, the problem with the T4 is the it would be more expensive to construct being between train lines, unlike the T3 which is independently run. They also needed capacity on the City Circle for more trains more services program (which has sort off worked out tbh)

@@peterelvery yes I found this a week ago and the video was recorded just a day earlier - I plan to do an update on this in future - I just wanted to get this video out because I had already recorded it. Thanks for that!

@@southaussiegarbo2054 it’s weird because not every station has them, and Punchbowl had more than any other station I had been to

@@SydneyTrainspotter they only get them if they are doing or are going to be doing works.

@@SydneyTrainspotter im not from syd but will be visiting in early oct

@@southaussiegarbo2054 alright!

@@MainTransportvlogs hey mate! My friend coded a website that’s better than trip view or anytrip in showing that kinda deets because it has daily updates. I’ll link it to you in this feed. I use it a lot to get all my rare sights! For instance, try filtering Hurstville -> XPT and see what it gives you :) Answering your question though, the timetable is PROBABLY gonna be reinstated and the Tangara services are unlikely to happen. It depends though, we never know for certain!

tripconstruct.neocities.org/triplists/

@@SydneyTrainspotter actually Tangara are gonna run the Bankstown line at this weekend

They ran for the entire day - A57, A7 and B13 did shuttles between Hurstville and the City Circle (with the intersection point being Banksia i.e. 2 Waratahs pass each other there whilst the 3rd is at Circular Quay). These were timetabled on the T4 3 days prior to running, so I got a few clips of them! After a ban on all foreign built trains, there was flooding on a lot of Sydney trains lines so the union lifted bans on a few Waratahs, and these were deployed on the T4 (because the T4 had a half hourly/hourly frequency which was pathetic, so the Waratahs used P1 and P2 tracks). This all happened on a Thursday. The following Wednesday & Friday, the same thing happened with Millennium M Sets which ran using exact same timetable as above^^ hope this helped!

also the reason why Waratahs were used opposed to Tangaras is because the majority of T4 Tangaras was reshuffled to run on other lines (literally every single line on the network lol), and rearranging them back would be useless. Waratahs have run down the T4 in disruptions a few times in the past, with the most recent being 10 weeks ago when a T3 B Set was diverted - the time before that was this clip :)

@@SydneyTrainspotter Hi can i ask you somthing how are the waratahs running on the t4 line if they have no power supply?

@@SydneyTrainspotter Nice, its so cool to see another train other than an oscar or tangara on the t4 lol

@@cishShorts-4586 they can run to Hurstville but no further than that. One set at a time can do the journey and they have tested to Cronulla and the south coast (especially the B sets which also ran to Martin Place) in the past. However if too many run it overloads the power supply and because the T4 has older sub stations, it can’t always handle it. That is why 3 sets were used on that day, and it’s why the T4 is only used as a diversion under extremely circumstances (example if the T3 is closed and T8 is flooded, a train at Sydenham has no choice but to go down to Hurstville

Maybe in 2 decades time… 😅

@@Trainsaregreat365 thanks mate!

?

@@cishShorts-4586 thanks mate

Go ahead mate! I made 2 movies already lol from filming on the final 2 days of weekday operation :)

You're not wrong mate! It's very old which means that any upgrades involve a lot of planning too because there's no measurements available (so they have to remeasure every single thing). The goods line doesn't have overhead wiring or else it would provide the perfect alternative during disruptions. The actual T3 line is always used sparingly and I'm not sure why frequencies are always so terrible.

@@SydneyTrainspotter true and when metro extended to Bankstown, frequency wont be a problem

@@MainTransportvlogs yup the media seems to only care abt the next year of inconvenience opposed to the next decade of faster services! It makes the metro look like a small project when its a big game changer - I would be happy to be selected if I was a T3 commuter!

and people at birrong and yagoona kick up a stink about loosing their trains. I have never seen anyone even get off at those stations so if anything, 100% proves why keeping them open are a waste. But at leats the T6 shuttle will be retained

@@electro_sykes the T6 will be a 4 car M set. I think they’re in a losing position but it’s better than not having anything at all. The frequency of the T6 is the same as the T7 which isn’t ideal.

@@MainTransportvlogs correct! Unless it changes again (which I doubt) - im still happy with my 2 movie videos because they were the last weekdays of the T3 with M and K sets featured, unlike the weekend which rn is literally just Waratahs (not even Tangaras)

mate I just got intel that the T3 will actually be closed all at once on the 30th. That means that standard timetable will be reinstated for this week again, and it will close all in one go! This isn't 100% confirmed but its highly likely and also makes sense.

@@SydneyTrainspotter so basically you mean next week Sunday 29th September will be last day of T3 Bankstown line?

@@SydneyTrainspotter oh yea actually yes it will close all once because I got an email yesterday from southwest link that during the final closure, it’s postponed and train will operate during that time.

@@MainTransportvlogs yup I believe so

@@alonzotransportandgaming it’s a revesby service I said the wrong thing after the train departed lol. Desto hopefully speaks for itself :/

@@was9503RBLXNewAccount correct and this clip features a Revesby service that was diverted from the airport link to here (hence why it is a rare sight)

If they can't run waratah just run Oscars in the t4 line or replace the interior of the t set into B set interior

@@cishShorts-4586 first of all, this isn't a T4 Waratah, its a T8 one that has been diverted to go via Tempe on the T4 line - your first point is valid but it's for convenience and it's not about them being lazy at all. Think of it this way: Waratahs are all stored at Auburn and other maintenance centres, NONE of which the T4 passes through - so why would Waratahs do this journey?

Tangaras were built decades ago and for convenience they are used on the T4 because they are stored at Mortdale, it makes sense to run the T4 using them. A full fleet of Oscars is incredibly dreamy because you'd have to spend a lot of money adding power substations so the Oscars don't overload the wiring and break it.

@@cishShorts-4586 Finally you said they should replace the interior of the Tangara into a B set. Why would they do that??? The Tangara interior is completely fine as it is - It is Australian built unlike Waratahs which are built overseas. At that point a new train should be made (replacing an interior of a train that is DECADES old is a ridiculous pitch and not one the government would even consider!)

@@SydneyTrainspotter Man im sorry i take the train on t4 man and im just done with loud aircon and the air brakes are loud as fuck bro.

Well... it was a software update that happened at a less busy time and hence why it went unnoticed!

@@SydneyTrainspotter It's not a Windows update then. 😜

@@2Blue2BeKing agreed but it’s still better than the original I’d say - before the boards had zero life to them, at least now there’s different phases so it shows different things (eg next 5 trains and times for those, current train and where it’ll stop, safety notif, doors opening/closing notif)

@@SydneyTrainspotter fair enough, I agree!

@@2Blue2BeKingme too! I must say I was expecting a giant car :)

@@Gary-vv5gt yes and also no. It’s better to show where the train is going because often times the platforms look identical and ppl can take the wrong train haha. Also, it helps with new commuters who are using the city section (where it can be confusing if Gadigal is before Martin Place, things like that) It’s better than only showing Tallawong

@@SydneyTrainspotterI think it is a bit nonsensical and a waste of space. Unless there are service changes which can be announced in other ways, a simple “L6 Plaça Catalunya: 4 min, 16 min” is enough, line number, destination, departures

@@hypernewlapse there is more than enough space for useful announcements 😅 What’s the alternative, a dead screen with no life?

@@SydneyTrainspotter I just think having a separate TV monitor for each line going through the station is a aste of raw materia ane electricity, plus, if the service pattern change and new lines are added or deleted you have to add or take screens from each station? for stations with a fixed stopping pattern (like metros, where each plattform always sees the same services), nondigital signage is enough; and for dynamically allocated services (like regional rail that doesnt always go to the same plattform) a common screen saying Hour, Line, Destination, plattform, like "12:23 RE4 Hamburg Altona 7"

@@hypernewlapse disruptions often occur and in the event of those communicating is important. A few weeks ago all metro services had to end at Bella Vista, if there weren’t announcements for this then passengers would go all the way there only to be forced onto buses or told to turn back. Electricity isn’t a problem for a transport system, screens are never deleted? It’s called software updates mate.. they update it remotely. Hence why it is used opposed to a sheet of paper.

@@Trainnerd66 thank you!

Thanks for replying

@@hempmarket thanks!

Cheers mate plenty more coming over the next couple of weeks

@@MrAnsairDude no idea mate, I would assume you could at a station but only when stationary

@@captain61games49 no, and they are often shuffled around. The Xplorers are P sets and have a different livery to that of the Endeavours, which are N sets.
