Vlog 1789 Chatswood Trains & Sydney Metro #railway #railroad #trains Explore Australia’s History & Abandonments with me: @AbandonedOZ Filmed on: 30/12/2020
I like how the Sydney metro is in the middle and Sydney trains are on the sides Chatswood is a perfect interchange for Sydney trains Sydney metro and buses
Hey Phil! Amazing vid as always. I just wanted to say that it’s so coincidental you film metro as I just went on the metro today. Awesome trains they are.
The changeover metro/suburban cannot be any easier in Chatswood, and the North shore line now has much more frequent services. Cannot wait though for the metro to continue beyond Chatswood in few years' time.
I’ve seen lots of hate comments about the metro on previous videos, I completely disagree with these comments, I think that the metro will be amazing once it’s finished, what’s not to love about 4 minute frequencies in peak?
@Nathan Dunn that is a very good point, although the frequency is great, and trains going new places is good, if there was a driver and guard on the train, they would be 100 times better
@Nathan Dunn The NSW Government wants to build 21st Century railway and make transport much better and they thought driverless trains would do the job. But I agree you have a good point but driverless trains aren’t too bad. But like I said, your point shouldn’t be ignored.
@Nathan Dunn Here in the UK,we have the DLR,which is a automatic system around the docklands in London,they put Guards on the trains for safety,ticket checking,to drive the train if failure and in these COVID times,there being driven manually
Nice video Phil! Pity the metro trains look so old already. The corrugated iron roofs and doors that aren’t flush against the sides of the train make them look cheap. The waratahs on the other hand are aging pretty well.
Wellington RUclipsr from NZ. I'd love to go to Sydney at the end of this year and do a couple of train/tram/driverless train videos. Last time I went to Sydney was Dec 2016 early Jan 2017 for a week. Hopefully COVID situation will have settled. In NZ, it's pretty much back to normal, though Auckland requires face masks on public transport. NZ Govt still recommends logging our activity using QR codes but the Bluetooth update makes scanning QR codes unnecessary.
If i was on a t1 the train arrives on to platform 4 then there’s a Sydney metro train on platform 3 you run for the Sydney metro and get on that’s what i will call a fast change
I love it when you’re travelling towards the city and a metro pops out of the tunnel and travels along side your train
Can’t relate live in Strathfield lol
2:38 THE T100 !!!

Thanks Phil. Can't wait to get on a Metro on this coming Friday. Maybe I can get somevideo of my Train and Metro day.
Came to look at this not realizing I had already been here. Looking forward to getting some Sydenham Metro testing some time!

@Nathan Dunn definitely true

And the trains are often crowded, and The Hills district is often useless as no one really uses it.
Nice video Phil!

The Metro trains are cheap. Thats why the NSW Government prefers them over the Double Deckers, plus they don't need to pay for drivers or Guards, LOL.
Chatswood station has some awesome metros
Awesome vlog! Great to see a metro vlog again! Thank you!
I've been on the metro multiple times, it's a very cool system!
Except the aircon tends to be way too cold lol
@@lawrencewei3583 Oh my god yeah. Even worse if you sit behind a carriage connector.
Can I request a walk-around of the zig zag railway workshop like you did many, many years back?
Yeah that would make an awesome vid
Yes, please!
the shot @ 6:02 was really satisfying
Agreed! That side by side really shows how fast those Metro trains accelerate out of the station. Impressive 👍
Brisbane is also building a Metro.
Very Good Video !!!!!!!!!

Circular quay station ferries are very pretty
Great
Right now if you changed for trains at Epping it would be worse but Chatswood better because your train could be a cross the platform
Nice
well i wish to do on Sydney metro but i never have the chance to :(
I did once it is very cool and fast.

Weird to see single deck passenger trains in Sydney.
Nice 👍
Nice video Phil I made a video at Chatswood that was fairly similar to yours I love your channel by the way !
Used to work here, miss this job. Damn you Covid!!! :'(
Hope you got work now. If you don't, perhaps some community service or volunteering may help. Or if you are over 50, just retire on a pension.
Phil could you do a video about the locomotives at the maintenance centre in Tallawong? They're quite interesting IMHO.
Haven't seen anybody get on a terminating train at Chatswood
I also call metro thomas as well as xplorer xpt endevor intercity oscar which I also call oscar an oxygen train
Also may I request another video at Wondabyne?
What software do u use to make the intros?

The production date is in the description.
Well done vlog! Tbh the glass really ruin the view.
IT'S SHIT TRAIN I WILL BURN THIS TRAIN
