    As much as I like the 'third rail' power system in the heart of the CBD - and I think other tram/light rail systems in Australia should adopt that - I can't help but be bemused why there is no traffic priority system built in to the signalling for the trams.Surely that's a base level addition to any mass transit system that is an early adopted non-negotiable!

      @@geoffreymartin2764 you get it at some intersections. it is a lot better than it used to be. i am not sure it can happen at every intersection because there is a lot of competing users being pedestrians and vehicles and unlike say canberra, the frequency is much higher, trams in the city come every couple of mins.

      It's vigilance or 'dead man' control. There is a sensor on the side of the handle. If it doesn't detect a 'change' for more than 30 seconds or so an alarm sounds and if that doesn't get a response, the power is cut and the brakes come on. There is also a pedal on the floor they can hold halfway down that cancels the thumb sensor. Personally, I think this 'thumb twitch' vigilance system is a bad idea and will result in RSI injuries.

    A lovely tram ride through downtown Sydney. However, some of the stoppages were too long. It took forever to take off from some of the stops. Why was that? At one stop the driver was constantly chatting with his colleague despite the signal being green, a waste of five minutes delay. It was only on the next signal did he finally take off. I suppose due to technical glitches the tram was delayed a bit. Be it Metro or light rail, somehow there are bound to be some technical problems somewhere on the first day of their operations itself.

    • @railfanworld
      @railfanworld  5 лет назад +2

      You are right about the green signal, but they wanted to evenly space out the trams. So that is why they were sometimes waiting a bit. Like you mentioned, this is the very first public ride on opening day, so it's bound to have some glitches.

    Dit zijn mooie beelden.
    Bedankt om ze te uploaden.
    Ik zag eerder beelden van testritten met deze tram en op een deel van traject wordt er geen gebruik gemaakt van bovenleidingen.
    Ik weet dat de meeste trams rijden op een spanning van 600 volt gelijkstroom.
    Ik veronderstel dat waar er geen bovenleiding is, het derde spoor in het midden zorgt voor de stroomtoevoer en zat me af te vragen onder welke spanning dit gebeurt en of het geen risico vormt voor voetgangers die op het spoor lopen.
    Ook zit ik me af te vragen of de stroomtoevoer via het extra spoor op de grond geen problemen zou kunnen opleveren in gebieden waar winterse omstandigheden, (sneeuw en ijs), mogelijk zijn.
    Iets waar ze natuurlijk in Sydney niet voor hoeven te vrezen.
    These are beautiful images.
    Thank you for uploading them.
    I previously saw images of test drives with this tram and overhead lines are not used on part of the route.
    I know that most trams run on a voltage of 600 volts DC.
    I suppose that where there is no overhead wire, the third track in the middle provides the power supply and I was wondering under what voltage this happens and whether it poses no risk to pedestrians walking on the track.
    I am also wondering whether the power supply via the extra track on the ground could not cause problems in areas where winter conditions (snow and ice) are possible.
    Something they obviously don't have to fear in Sydney.

    • @legass420
      @legass420 5 лет назад +1

      The only active part of the third rail is the specific section that has a tram on it. Everywhere else, the power is off.

    • @railfanworld
      @railfanworld  5 лет назад

      Het systeem van Alstom heet alimentation par le sol (APS) oftewel voeding via de grond. De derde rail bestaat uit een opeenvolging van stalen strips met een lengte van acht meter, gemonteerd in het wegdek. Via centrale sturing wordt tijdens het rijden uitsluitend het gedeelte onder de tram onder spanning gebracht. De spanning wordt opgevangen via een soort 'schaatsen', die over de derde rail onder de tram glijden.

      I suppose you're right that they don't have to FEAR snow. However, it can snow in Sydney. There were some heavy winter falls in the 1830s. And there were some lighter ones in January and February in the 1940s.

      Thank you for the information, Paul.
      I know that snow does occur more often in the highlands west of Sydney, but in Sydney it seems to be very exceptional
      I also suspect that the snow that fell then did not last long.
      Living in Europe, where a lot of trams run in the cities, I was thinking about that.
      Especially in European cities more to the east, where the winters can be very cold and long.
      I myself have a fairground attraction with trolleys that are powered by DC and also have to take their electricity from a track, the same as the tram, but on a smaller scale and I know from experience that during winter weather ice and snow can cause serious problems.
      In the worst case, even no contact at all.
      Hence my train of thought.
      By the way, the tram tracks in Sydney remind me a bit of the tracks of the cable cars in San Fransisco, where of course there is a cable running in the central track that is driven by a motor in a central station.
      I had the chance when I was in California in '96, I think, to visit those installations, 19th century technonology.
      Still fascinating to see how inventive they were then.

    , Sydney has decided To bring back trams after 58 years. Realised they did the wrong thing back in 1961. Not including that light rail in 1997 as that goes over mainly old heavy rail lines. Lucky Melbourne kept its trams, as it is the largest tram system in the world.

    • @davidlang1125
      @davidlang1125 5 лет назад +1

      Same in Los Angeles. It had a very extensive tram network until the early 1950’s when it was abandoned. Some of the old tracks were still visible until quite recently. The city sold off most of the right of ways in the 1980’s only to have a long drawn out public debate a few years later to bring it back by which time they had to find funds for new right of ways. But it now has a robust rail and light rail expansion plan in place. It has transformed the city in very important ways and has the promise of reducing car ownership as essential to living in LA. It will help it reach its climate change goals as well as make it a more livable city. Pretty radical for a city that was synonymous with car culture. But Sydney is way ahead of LA in terms of transit and livability.

      They drive partly through a pedestrian zone where the speed is limited to 20 km / h.

    Riding too close to another tram? Come to Melbourne and learn how a real Tram operates.

      It was opening day so scheduling (and spacing) was more slack. But it’s to be expected during initial operations to see glitches. Eventually head ways will be more consistent when operators have experience with varying conditions throughout the day. These are routine issues when introducing new light rail services. It will also depend on the public learning to live with the new light rail in their community especially with safety concerns. It will eventually develop the symbiotic relationship of a mature system like Melbourne.
