Hi Sean 👋 I certainly enjoyed this video especially the bonus clips of the 2 old girls letting off some steam. Great video, well done Sean 👏 👍
BTW: I see that I have missed some of your recent videos due to not getting the notifications which I will blame UA-cam. I will try and catch up as soon as I can.

Thanks John! Glad you enjoyed this one 😊
That’s ok, in case the issue isn’t fixed soon, I upload every 2nd day at 3PM if a weekday or at 1PM if a weekend FYI

do the V Sets has disability priority seating, Transportinfo can't answer that question

[@aussiejohn5835]

The answer is yes, and the seats are located on the vestibule level and located close to the stairs. I have found that most people ignore the signs and sit there. The area between the vestibule and the stairs has seating that is suitable for anyone and is reversible, so you can always face the direction of travel if you wish. However, the priority seats are not reversible, which means you may have to face backwards. I personally find the priority seats to be cramped and uncomfortable with limited leg room, especially when you have the seat in front of you facing towards you.

[@transportforsydneyvlogs7258]

John has answered it well here. A problem though is the vestibule and doorway areas are very narrow on the V Sets and offer little to barely any space. And while perhaps only the Contura V Set car might have slightly more space, still far less compared with younger fleets
