Hope you all enjoyed this new style of a video to end off 2024! Let me know if I should do more like this with Sydney Metro and other Light Rail lines! :) Have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
As a Yank with no hope of visiting your country personally, I find these great. Thank you! ...Like RailCowGirl videos, only Aussie 😄. Happy holidays, and I hope you stay cool ❄.

I really enjoyed this video, and I like the new style. I definitely think you should do more like this. I am curious as to the constant finger movements on the controller, especially the rapid movement of the thumb. Excellent video, well done 👏 👍
Awesome video. Thanks for sharing. Would you happen to know the name of the bridge that the tram crossed earlier in this video around 8:29 ? Incidentally, Tramway Avenue was originally named after the original Parramatta steam tram system that ran until 1943.
if it channel 7 hoping the tram was a disaster given their beat up stories. which was a beat up because everything is running fine. you always need to question the media
thanks for the video. will be interesting when stage 2 gets built whether driver changes happen at the stop planned closer to depot or whether they will stop directly outside like they do in canberra and gold coast. canberra is interesting because they built a new stop shortly after opening very near the depot but they still do changeovers directly outside.
What’s up Elliot! Did Carlingford to Rosehill Gardens feel like you were on the old T6 Carlingford line? Cuz when I got on the Parramatta Light Rail while Streaming, it felt like the T6 Carlingford Line.
Does the L4 line have a section of 3rd rail powered line just like the L2 and L3??, feels like the L4 line is a combination of the power systems on the NLR, L1, L2 and L3 lines if that makes sense
I think it's a Driver Vigilance Button on the control. Personally, I think he needs to calm down on pressing it every 100ms. Probably paranoid about the system kicking in without telling the system that he is aware........
@@Epic3032 If the driver fails to acknowledge a warning horn within a certain amount of time (becomes incapacitated) the tram will come to a stop, preventing a runaway. Stroking the thumb sensor (on the control handle) or pressing the foot pedal are means of letting the vehicle know that the driver is still awake and vigilant.

DEFINITELY do this with the L2 and L3. haven’t been on the L2 since last year

Sydney Metro would be awesome to see more videos of, can’t wait to try out the new L4 line and M1 Metro line in February next year
@ wait u haven’t tried the metro yet?

Fantastic video mate. This is surely to be a game changer for getting around Parramatta! 👍
Absolutely it will
That’s actually a very good edit good job job mate

Nice video! I was on the same tram, making a video for my RUclips channel! Great to see you’re doing well!
Good video mate
Loved this video! Really like the concept. One suggestion: perhaps you could put when the tram is on-wire and off wire.
9:33 she didn’t do the bell or you just cut that bit out😊
I wondered what kind of story the news crew at 2:51 were doing

I did the trip after work yesterday i loved it

How did you make the pid in the corner, it’s really cool. Same with the bset ones

Nice video
Will it ever get extended to Epping? 🤔
Does the tram stop automatically if the driver exceeds the speed limit?

There’s a short section of ground charging at the Westmead stop. The rest of the wire free sections run off battery power
HOw did you get the info screen in the bottom left corner?
hmmm why is the driver keep tapping his thumb on the button? via the throttle?

@@fozz3d is that like an e-brake for trams?

@@joshporter5422 ahhh gotcha
@@Epic3032Same concept as a vigilance/deadman’s system for trains but for trams
