I think the TBM’s that were used to build the tunnels between Victoria Cross and Barangaroo had to be especially made for tunneling underneath Sydney Harbour with a specialised cutter head
But this train in the video barley stops and when it comes to peak hour the timing will really add up especially when people stop using the buses to city
@@VolvoB8RLE I noted that and that the opening / closure of the doors, which can be heard, is approx 8-10 seconds. This approximates the timing of the tried and proven Paris Metro and others. Given the four minutes frequency there will be no cause to delay. Also note that the loading and unloading process is controlled by the corralling gates which has also been part of the Paris system for a long time.
First time I went on the driverless Metro was from Chatswood to North Ryde and as soon as the brakes released, the train floored it as hard as it could and I nearly fell on my ass
The dwell times are only 10 seconds here, but I believe they are normally closer to 30 seconds. So it's 15 stops X 20 seconds...or about 5 minutes longer. So 44 min to barangaroo I'm guessing.
I’m really hoping it’s only 45 mins to Martin place It would be such a win for me as my office across the road from the metro Knowing my luck, something will happen where we are kicked out of our lease (old style building) or I get a new job lol Also… yeah I’ve noticed my back hurts now when I’m sitting on the metro so it’s actually better for me to stand at times. My body is use to sitting forward rather than sideways.. even that fat layers can’t support me 🤪🤪🤪
Nice. So, were you there when the Premier Minns and Transport Minister Haylen made the announcement for the opening of the section from Chatswood to Sydenham?
@@carisi2k11 I mean does anyone really catch the T3 beyond Bankstown. They all just drive to the mainline stations or work in parramatta or use west connex.
@@carisi2k11 and a waste of time, the route to Liverpool should take a more direct route through Bankstown airport and Moorebank. Otherwise why bother it a metro would save 5 mins at best using the old route. And plus you can't because freight is using Cabramatta to Liverpool the Yennora freight yard has to use cityrail tracks.
@@TomHommus Moorebank gets flooded out. i mean I'd love for it swing past Condell Park on its way to Bankstown but Moorebank is just a nightmare in the wet.
That’s the missing northern metro link. The missing southern metro link is Bankstown to Aerotropolis. The missing train link (one that could connect the airports) is Leppington to Aerotropolis.
I can’t wait for Metro West to be completed. However it’s a shame that the line won’t intersect with the Tallawong to Bankstown line in the city to form a hub like with other metro systems such as those in Paris and Milan.
It will indeed. Hunter street station on the metro west will have a direct underground link to Martin place station here and also Wynyard as well. When it opens the Martin place - Hunter street - Wynyard precinct will form a mega underground interchange.
@@timtam53191Sorta like how in London, Bank and Monument stations are considered separate stations, but they’re basically treated as one mega complex I think one of the other reasons why they haven’t decided on a direct interchange with an existing station is simply because there isn’t either the land and/or they don’t want to overcrowd the existing stations since for example Town Hall is already overused
Hey stop complaing about the comfort of the Metro ride. whoever they are. I've been on it and it can be a little rough in some sections but it's more comfortable then riding some of the Sydney trains even the intercity and XPTs.
Right? I dont get it. It's like these people have never actually gone on a Train or Metro in NSW. Most train rides are a traumatic experience with all the shaking and screeching that happens (on top of how unreliable they are) Metro is smooth as compared to your average Sydney train ride.

@@carisi2k11 doesn't look like it from the plan there's 2 extra from Campbelltown and 2 extra from Revesby but 8 extra from mascot. Where are the extra 4 trains coming from? The only logical explanation is that the Sydenham services are getting diverted to the airport
Thank you for content but would see the surrounding countryside and building features instead of tracks. Travel noise could also be suppressed. Railcowgirl does a good all round job.
this was filmed before opening so they wouldn't have been allowed inside the train. It's obvious that the camera / gopro has been mounted on the coupling.
It’s amazing how you guys in Sydney can get this and we, on the south coast line get and an old coal cart pulled by two mules. Funny how we all pay the same taxes.
Wollongong/Illawarra region will form part of the plan for high speed rail, im pretty sure HSRA boss has already mentioned it. Not much point doing too much ti the South Coast Line If you're only improving the line by a little bit, you may as well do it once and do it properly with HS trains.
@@godfreysanter1565 you wouldn't bother electrifying that goat track beyond Picton, better off building a new line capable of 200kmh+ and electrifying that!
More stations must be added such as Artarmon industrial, Beecroft, Lane Cove National Park, Lindfield College (University) along with the route ought be change to allow Botany and Banksmeadow each to benefit from this line.
@@bigmaxy07 they binned it because people complained. The ECRL was meant to be above ground but people complained that it would go through lane cove national park and because of the gradient required for the tunnel for double deckers they could no longer build a station there and the route was longer (that's why the tunnel is curved between north Ryde and Chatswood rather than a more straight path) They binned it because that's what the people (the ones with the loudest voices) wanted.

It is very interesting, because Victoria Cross to Barangaroo takes approximately 3 minutes to go under Sydney Harbour.
Meanwhile Melbourne can't even build a fucking train line to the fucking airport...
very impressive, wish that the US would pursue this for a train transportation option
Excellent video of a great Sydney Metro trip. Thanks for sharing.
Five minutes Central to Sydenham. Damm. It going to take me longer to walk from central to work than it does for the whole train trip.

can't wait for this to open in August. Im shopping for a folding bike and can bike to work getting off at waterloo.

The best thing that hey should of done, is instead of ending it at Tallwong…there is literally like a 3km n could had start/finish at Schofield
... and then to St Marys.
finally a metro starts to going somewhere....
We should have had this line 20 yrs ago.

Not sure if its the gopro or tne line especially new section is quite shaky. Obviously approved to standards will be interesting on the ride.
Do those Sydney Metro trains have high beam lights and if so where on the train are they??
The train seems to be hunting quite a lot on the new section.
watch this in VR360/180 it’s crazy
So when is the Chatswood to Sydenham Metro section opening?
Early August apparently. So in a month
Should be on 4th of August
I wonder if the date will be pushed back again since the Metro malfunction incident a few days ago.
Whats the speed of the train?
neat, whats the max speed on this thing? looks like its packing some speed in the tunnels
120 i believe
