@@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?
Very nice. Swedish train driver here. Interesting to see how things work on the other side of the globe! The speed limits seems highly restrictive on good quality, straight track, especially the section where it was dropped from 160 to 115. Any particular reason for this?
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?
This video and channel are amazing! However, I don't think you should do this. The last creator, Sydney Trains Cab Videos, who did something similar, had their channel taken down by Sydney Trains. I’m not sure of the specific reasons, but Sydney Trains Cab Videos mentioned it was due to showing certain content. Just a heads-up!
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.
This is awesome! I use this exact service sometimes for a trip towards Sydney.
Great video, well done
would you be able to get a video along the north shore line? I find it a gorgeous line to travel on :)
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

Top stuff. Better than my cab ride videos. 👍

Very cool video how often do all stops services go via Sydenham
Very cool video :)
You've gone Illawarra local so have I...
We desperately need a speed run of 160km. Sydney track is far better maintained than Melbourne.

Any more in the pipeline?
sure! have you got any requests?
@@RailViewAus-i1o If you're able to get the T4 it'd be great. Appreciate the videos

Thanks, these were made with approval & are identical to the existing TfNSW published slow tv videos! best regards
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......
So why isn't the wiper blade clearing the rain?
Why doesn't this use the Illawarra Main, if it's express?
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
