Anyway, T106 and T72 were out testing again last weekend. Some fellow train enthusiasts sighted them at Seven Hills and Leumeah, based on uploaded photos on Instagram. I do hope this is the last round of testing before they are approved to return to revenue service, assuming if they're still yet to be used for driver training for the upgraded consoles. Shame that the technology upgrade rollout likely won't be completed until next year at the earliest, despite what was previously scheduled.
Emriltt 87 Yeah, I do recall the ECRL dive at Epping was sealed off. It’s due to the Metro route running in a different direction, which resulted in a completely new Metro-only tunnel towards Cherrybrook.
D6342 from A42 was badly damaged when it hit the buffers at Richmond. It may take some time to get it repaired and swap the contest with D6342 and D6379 from the prototype A79 and A42 with the contest back to normal
@@transportvlogs D6342 is still at Downer's facility at Cardiff. This was the carriage that was badly damaged in the Richmond accident in January 2018.
Travel086 086, Looking at the damage I think they might use D6342 for parts and sometime later on they might just scrap it, just like G7 (it was scraped almost 3 years after the Waterfall Train Disaster). It’s at least good to see that A42 is back in service and they could repair the 7 cars at least for good. Emriltt
Transport Vlogs There may be possibly that D6342 may be damaged beyond repair. Should that happen, it will become the first Waratah carriage to ever be scrapped, not counting set A2. That would result in D6379 being permanent.
Volgren fan bus 1 The rear half was actually another ex-G set, T102. T102 actually contains the first G set driving trailer and motor cars built, those being D6801 and N5801. T102’s other cars are N5856 and D6812.
Nice video of the route to Berowra.
Great catch and video! Thanks for sharing your work!
Entertaining, since you haven't uploaded many Sydney Train videos recently.
Long time since you last filmed one of these onboard travel videos! (MTA network didn’t count as it was spinoff material).
Also Phil, I noticed the set you were on in this video was H47. My mother went up to Broadmeadow last Friday and H47 was actually the set she rode on!

Can’t wait to see them in service though what’s taking so long?
Aah they’ve removed the tracks from the ECRL dive! Sad piece of history gone from Sydney’s rail history 😔

Did you hear about a derailment at Macdonaldtown yards and it was a Waratah series 1 A set. Wonder what the set was this time
It was K69
Ahhh ok. It must of replaced the Waratah series 1 probably having repairs on it or something like that
Hi Phil do you know what happened to Waratah car D6342? Is it gonna be repaired and put back or is it gonna be scrapped?
