@@RailViewAus-i1o Any thoughts on just finishing the quad tracking from Glenfield to Revesby, reinstating 160kmh running, extending electrification to Picton and bringing the Southern Highlands service into the InterCity family properly with a permanent terminus at Central, or is that overkill and they just need to find a way of enabling these trains to overtake the T8 stopping trains?
Reminds me very much in terms of track layout to an entry into one of the big London terminals such as Euston or St Pancras from the north. Great journey... We'll maintained track, ballast and trackside compared to Europe.
As a suggestion, maybe you could add a speedometer so we know how fast the train can accelerate and brake. Also could you give a link to another video or article as to why Suburban train drivers have to stuck to blue? Also just wondering if a Waratah/Millenium went to Cardiff for maintenance does it stick to blue or white?
from caution there is one block gap between caution and stop, so it would go from preliminary medium - medium - caution - stop. however some signals may indicate a low speed aspect (red over red over green) which indicates you can pass this signal at low speed but expect the next signal to be an absolute stop.
Thank you for this video. I learned a few things about signalling from this video.
Very cool video how often do all stops services go via Sydenham
This is awesome! I use this exact service sometimes for a trip towards Sydney.
Top stuff. Better than my cab ride videos. 👍
Great video, well done
Many thanks, very informative. Just like learning the Road. Cheers from an old Railcar Driver.
Oh nice, this is the one I was on. I remember we were delayed as always and then slowed even more because of the stopper. Lots of people had luggage
It's very unfortunate that this service is never allowed to overtake the stopping service using Platform 2 at Glenfield.
@@RailViewAus-i1o one time a while back now we did use platform 2 but ended up behind the stopper again because of a fault or something

So why isn't the wiper blade clearing the rain?
Why doesn't this use the Illawarra Main, if it's express?
Any more in the pipeline?
sure! have you got any requests?
ive been on a melbourne train, they dont seem to exceed 80km/h except between Hoppers crossing and werribee
Melbourne is about 20 years behind ex-Railcorp/Sydney Trains tracks are, they still have vast swathes of track in timber sleepers......
How many signals down the line have to travel through before a signal goes from
Stop to caution?

You really should have got someone to proofread your closed captions ....
haha yeah I wrote them in a rush.....i'm surprised anyone turns them on.
You should have the video sped up
