I don't know what the blue lights are for. The double overhead wires would be for current draw through the overhead. To not overload a single contact wire. 👍😀
If you mean the light like the one at 14:00, I think they're signals to be used if a driver was to be manually controlling the train - and it actually might be a white light, the camera might be distorting the colour a bit If you mean like the lights at 22:34, then I have no idea either
That all depends... if you ask the people outside the suburbs in NSW, they envy Victoria's rail network. Both states have their good and bad points. I just like to see rail move ahead in all states for the benefit of all people. 😀👍
@@driver667 Had a quick chat with the SA Transport Minister today. He told me they have decided not to convert the suburban network to standard gauge. Bugger.🥺😭
@@martythemartian99 Why would you? WHAT homestly is this hang up with transit fans about standard gauge. Talk about wasting scarce money when it could be spent elsewhere. Are they running trains between Parramatta and Port Adelaide? Standardisation has stuffed up Victoria by having a split system that apart from the capital city routes we didn’t need as we do not run trains from Portland to Sydney. However what it has done is set back restoration of a coherent interconnected passenger network. We could have had Ballarat back to Horsham by now.
@@xr6lad Funny thing is you answered your own question when you said "Standardisation has stuffed up Victoria by having a split system." We have a split system here too with suburban broad, and country standard. Converting the suburban lines ti standard, would allow the return of country passenger services, making freight rail more efficient due to the extension of dual track in some areas. Being a single gauge state would be a vast improvement. The minister even admitted this. I believe it will happen, and we are just stalling. It's all NSW's fault anyway.🤓
@@martythemartian99 But they were all one gauge before you started playing around with them. There is no benefit . It was a jobs for the boys scheme. SA doesn’t even have a regional network - would money be better spent getting that running. Half the suburban lines are not electrified. Wouldn’t it be better spending money on that. Rather than moving a track a few inches right AND then spend more money having to replace level crossings and regauge trains. Must be rolling in cash over there.
You see, driver 👀. The Sydney network is 100 times ⏲️ better maintained than Melbourne. You know the attitude in Melbourne when it comes to rail maintenance, there is nothing sticky tape cannot fix. 😂😂😂. That is the attitude. You could literally get the crazy 🤪 warehouse guy to sell those mudholes. 😂😂😂😂
100 times? Pull the other one. Maybe a tad more, but not 100 times more. Or are you just one of those Syd V Mel trolls? Leave the rivalry on the sports field Chumley. Or you could just make fun of us in Adelaide, we're accustomed to being dumped on by people like you.
Now I am still waiting for Sydenham to Tallawong it’s good trip
@@ConnorSmith-sx1zn I need to get up there and film it one day. 👍😀
As you know there is the full test run video on YT to Sydenham by Sydney Times. Thank you for this ride.
You're welcome. Glad you enjoyed it 👍 😀
I heard the news that T3 Bankstown Line will be closed for 12 months for Sydney Metro Extension to Bankstown But I’m looking forward to
@@ConnorSmith-sx1zn I heard that. 👍😀
Good work. Heaps better than my attempts.
@@geoffreymoore1510 thank you. Glad you enjoyed it 👍 😀
What a ride, do you know what the little blue lights in the tunnels are for? Interesting that the overhead wires are double.

@@deanl4575 yes, I think the reference is to the one's like at 22:34. 🤔 A mystery. 👍😀
👍
Glad you enjoyed it 👍 😀
3:24 rest in peace bird... you will be missed
🤔👍
very good train ride
Very happy to hear you enjoyed it 👍 😀
The people in NSW are better looked after than those in Victoria

@@tomhenry6440 thank you. Glad you enjoyed it 👍 😀
Any official opening date yet for the new Metro line through the city?
@@therealsammyvee888 I haven't heard a date as yet. 🤔👍
@@driver667 All good. I hope you're able to get some videos on it when it does.
All we know currently is an undisclosed weekend in August
@@deanl4575 Ok, thanks.
@@therealsammyvee888 I will be looking to get some video on it at some point. 👍😀
A driverless train? This must be a video post from Artificial Intelligence 667.🤖🖥
I been trying to track AI667 down. Let me know if you see him. 🤣🤣👍
