Mate Fantastic. Love the old crossings in Newcastle. Clyde crossing shows the old Brambles Transport warehouse on one side and the old Gas Works offices on the other.
When I was in Australia in 2000, my aunt lived in Bowral and my cousins in Sydney, so I used the Campbeltown - Bowral train many times, so I crossed many times at the Douglas Park station junction. In 2015 I passed several through Corrimal when I was traveling to Wollongong 😃😃😃
If I can remember correctly, there is an unused gated level crossing signal sitting on the side of the train tracks somewhere near Petersham station in Sydney.
I live just a block away from Hamilton station and it is a rare occurrence for a train other than that orange one to go through that crossing. Also, cargo trains will never cross there
Hi Phil, interesting video. I wasn't aware of these level crossings near Sydney. We have plenty of level crossings here in Melbourne, though they are now removing many of them bit by bit. Anyway, take care. Rob in Melbourne Australia.
I'm curious, do the individual railways have their own standards on bell operation at gated crossings? Seems like a mix of some where all bells ring continuously through the train event. Some have one bell that operates through while the other shuts off at gate down. The most unique one to me was East Richmond though, where the bells rang while the stopped train was just adjcent to the crossing and then turned off (less the ped alarm) after the train fouled the roadway. Makes me wonder if it's railway practice, or up to each maintainer's preferences.
So many level crossings, but where were the ones at Faulconbridge Station, Parramatta Road Granville, or even the Royal National Park tramway crossing at Loftus?
I’m pretty sure that the guy didn’t have enough time to film all of those, considering how far Loftus is from Sydney, Parramatta road, Granville no longer exists.
What crappy train horns you have in NSW. Phil you should come down to Melbourne & vlog some of our trains. Our train drivers are very horn happy in Victoria. Great video as always. 👍👍
What I have noticed is that most of the trains in this episode are virtually devoid of any passengers. Does anybody use the system at all. Seems crazy to run 8 car sets when the trains are empty.
Mate, you did really well to not witness any misdemeanours. Maybe your presence with camera made drivers / pedestrians behave lawfully. Crossings at Bellambi and Corrimal are often in the news with near misses and unfortunately more serious events. One observation, drivers are good at giving a horn blast but perhaps they should be consistent with the duration.
@@vijgai3 Hawkesbury River is the outer-most Sydney suburb on the inter-urban line between Sydney and Wickham(now the trains no longer run to Newcastle after Xmas, 2014).
@@neilforbes416 As per the latest network map (Jan 2022), the Sydney Trains network (T1 North Shore) looks to finish at Berowra. Up from Berowra, it's NSW TrainLink (Central Coast & Newcastle line).
@@vijgai3 That *DOES NOT* change the fact that *Hawkesbury River* is still a suburb of Sydney and is the last of the suburbs as you ride north toward Wickham(as I said already, the trains no longer go to Newcastle Station because of State Government *treachery and vandalism* after Xmas, 2014).
The Richmond line is the biggest piece of shit ever constructed. Single track bullshit which chokes up the whole line when a train is late almost always getting into Riverstone from either direction. The government fucked it over even more by choosing not to go ahead with the original proposal of integrating the Rouse Hill line into the existing Richmond branch has completely quashed all hope of ever getting the line duplicated between Schofields and Richmond. And with the housing developments going on around Riverstone, Vineyard and the surrounding area's it's going to cause mass chaos when everyone chooses to drive rather than take the train. It's already horrific trying to get into Windsor of an afternoon atm. Then you have the absolute paltry excuse for an intersection that is Riverstone level crossing... My god every time I have to go through there I just want to blow my brains out.

That’s probably the strangest (and funniest) level crossing sound I’ve ever heard! 😂
What the? Howcome Melbourne trains don't go 80mph?
Yes I know
It sounds like it's low on batteries hahaha

Love Australia, Trains and level crossing and off course your awesome video!!!
Thank you so much 😊😊
I'm aussie
This saves me spending all day down the road at the Paterson level crossing with my two year old.
Thank you 🙏😂
I must say, the crossing alarm at 20:30, I'm not sure if it should be considered hilarious or horrific!

I've seen something like that before. An ol' lady was pushed by the little swinging gate!

It is meant to be like that.

That’s 20 level crossings in one video, 15 I recorded and 5 I haven’t recorded.

All are operated by NSW Trainlink or Sydney Trains.
20:30 Sounds like a cat dying
You mean the rail beep
Probably what sans or boyfriend would sound like xD
I assume that Minto and Fairy Meadow stations no longer have level Crossings
You did Blackheath but not Faulconbridge? Pity, you would have driven past it on the way back down the mountain.
So many level crossings, but where were the ones at Faulconbridge Station, Parramatta Road Granville, or even the Royal National Park tramway crossing at Loftus?

@@ethansNZtrains Loftus is a lot closer to Sydney than MANY other crossings shown, e.g. Dapto is around 90 minutes out.
@@flamingfrancis Fair, but he still probably had no time, he probably didn't even know the Loftus tramway crossing existed.
General Holmes Drive will soon be replaced by a major project at Wentworth Avenue and Botany Rd.
Gotta love that a lot of the road crossings are right next to stations. The only one I've been to is warnervale though
Not sure if those sounders at woy woy belong on top of a pedestrian signal or in a duckpond!
great thanks phil cheers bob.🤠😎
From 16:50 through to around 20:00 I was getting seasick. You need a tripod.

Great, now we all know of something else they do beiter in Melbourne.
Interesting that there is no height gauge on the road approach for the overhead wires
The wait at Adamstown station loll
Michelle Severino yea the level crossing can take up to 10 minutes for the train to arrive!
20:56 bells and horns so funny 😂😂😂😂
The mascot one no longer exists.
In fact there are very few level crossings in Metropolitan Sydeny left.
Was the first train the Bathurst Bullet

Australian Level Crossings seem to be much more unsafe & avoidable than British ones
I don’t think so.
Australian ones look like American ones
@@coolcat-nq4mj 24:29 is very British
How can they be more unsafe given all the precautions in evidence here? Does England have pop up bollards or aircraft carrier style hook and bands?
