Great video! I usually go for the drivers view videos, but this was just as good! I appreciated seeing the different trains at different locations. Thanks for doing this!
@@Schony747 The drivers view train videos can be boring at times, but I really enjoy the tram videos because I can also see the sights of the city as well!
I understand that Sydney's bilevel trains are controversial because although theoretically they carry more passengers, they require larger tunnels and take longer to load/unload, and they are more expensive to build. I know they have seats that are handicapped-accessible, but I don't qualify as handicapped and I move pretty slowly on stairs, so these trains wouldn't be popular with me.
They tried a Tangara in Melbourne 30 odd years ago. It was a trial that was never continued for many reasons such as the ones you mentioned. It could only run on one line as the rest of the infrastructure wasn't setup for the train.
We're pretty much stuck with them. In many places it would be almost impossible, or at least hugely expensive, to lengthen platforms to accommodate single deck trains with the same capacity.
The first double deck of any kind were the Tulloch trailers entered service in 1964. 4 prototype suburban double deck power cars ran with them in 1969, this being the first instance of having both double trailer trailers and power cars (before that they were paired with single deck power cars) and after that the full production runs of all double-deck fleet en masse the "S" Sets, started running in May 1972. The first double-deck intercity/interurban electrics started in June 1970 which are known as the V sets, not seen in this video.
Sydney has been using double deck carriages since the 1960's when the first Tulloch trailers came out. The 1970's introduced the V and S sets, the first fleets to consist entirely of double deck cars. More advancements came with 1988's introduction of the T set, often known as the "Tangara" trains, which introduced new features like covered gangways between cars, standardised air conditioning, larger windows and warning sound effects when doors open or close. 2002 introduced internal destination indicators with the "Millennium" M sets, while the "Waratah" A set, first introduced in 2011, included various new safety features.
Electric trains are good
Yes indeed. Thanks for having a look.
Not the only NSW Trains. You still have the Millenium and the Silver Set(s) at the time.
I took a V set down there many years ago!

Thanks! I find drivers view great as well but get pretty bored after 10 minutes if it's not interesting.

I actually like how these new trains look. Nice catches.
The new Waratahs look really good. Alot better than the 30 year old Tangaras.
