Don't know how anyone can really compare the two. The D sets have yet to convey any paying passengers, whereas the Waratahs have been in service for a number of years. Or that D sets are intended for longer distance runs. Fails to mention that D sets have 2+2 seating, whereas Waratahs have 3+2. When they replace the current Oscars with their horribly uncomfortable seating on longer distance runs, the D sets make nearly half the passengers sit backward on a full train, a factor that many hate.
I am a semi-frequent user of the Blue Mountains line and let's just say I'm not looking forward to the prospect of facing backwards for much of that journey.
I thought I'd just correct you on a few things: - Waratah's are actually quite comfortable as the air-conditioning is top-notch and lighting is perfect too. - The Waratah's deserve a higher rating for seating as they're reversable, not to mention that high-backed seating on the Mariyung's, whilst nice, can get annoying after some time. - Trainspotters actual opinions on the two trains are that D sets are generally quite ugly and lack anything iconic, not to mention their various safety issues, whereas the Waratah's, whilst being too frequent, are quite nice. The main problem with the Waratah's is just that there's not enough variety of trains left as the majority are Waratah's. - More credit should have been given to the D sets in safety/accessibility for the colour of the doors being a distinct orange which is great for those who are visually impaired or even colour blind, also including the little orange streaks halfway down the doors which is also a big benefit for the same reasons. - The padding on the Waratah's are actually quite thick and there's even been concerns for how thin the padding on the D sets allegedly are. To sum it all up, I personally believe Waratah's are better not only by opinion but factually.
air conditioning on waratahs is NOT good 😭 they use that silly auto air-conditioning that makes it so the temperature inside is always warmer than the outside? (as I've heard) other than that these points are valid 👍
@@peterelvery I used to commute via G set Tangaras twice daily many years ago and I can confirm that the AC was draughty and way too cold - Especially if sitting at a window seat on the bottom level. Some of us brought small blankets with us each day... even in Summer. Just horrible. The seats were better than Oscars though.
The only reason we hate mariyungs are because they are replacing v sets, our favourite trains and we hate waratahs cuz they are so freakin common, just like how people on the t4 hate tangaras.

How can you say the D-sets are more comfortable when they haven't taken a single paying passenger yet?
Wah rah tah?

Queue all the people telling you they have irreversible seats overseas and it's fine. To be clear, I'm not one of those people and agree with you.

thanks for the information
Tangara padding is better.

@@darthobi-wan8014 Well I don't like the ac too cold
I have no idea why people prefer Tangaras to Watatahs. On the rare occasion I have to take a ride on the former, I cry on the inside.
Better seats, better air con and more
@@ukraineball953 On Waratahs, yes. The AC on Tangaras is noisy, draughty and usually too cold

The aircon in the Waratahs are shit
@@belchy94 Could you could try being definitive?
this video is dumb the waratah trains are sunburn and the New Intercity Fleet are intercity Should have been D Sets Vs Oscars
Really surprised that any Australian can't say Waratah correctly. AI?
Yeah it's Text to Speech 💀
@@TangaraTrainExplain I mean, if it can't pronounce the main subject right, it's not really up to the job.
Honestly, my favourite variant of the trains is the Waratah B set. It just looks better.
They are newer
They also have a better colour scheme.

Hear, hear! V sets forever! The best trains on the network in 1983 and the best trains on the network in 2024.
K sets vs Tangaras
