@@transportforsydneyvlogs7258 they are also Programmed to actually be quick with journey times in mind. Sydney Trains did used to be faster until a number of incidents in recent decades.
Not all Sydney Trains drivers are incompetent. Even in the late 2000s we had a few drivers who we nicknamed Dominic Toretto or Vin Diesel. Absolutely floored the train passenger comfort be dammed. Arrived 5 mins before timetable. No-one snitched on him because we all enjoyed getting home earlier than usual. Was doing the same run for multiple years. Just like vin diesel fast but safe (never crashes) Unfortunately these days they don't train drivers like they used to
@@TomHommus They aren't allowed to anyway - line speeds were reduced in the late-2000s over safety fears, and timetables were slowed down in 2013 to enable a higher frequency on the network. There are WAY more trains running now on the network than there were in the 2000s on every day of the week and at every time of day.
Nice 👍
Cheers!
@3:28 the Metro speds really do make the Sydney Trains network look like driving hearses eh.
Yeh they can travel faster than the heavy rail
