Hi everyone and welcome to the Transport for Sydney Vlogs channel!
My name is Sean and I am a Train Enthusiast based in Sydney, Australia. On this channel, you will see a variety of trains, such as passenger trains, freight trains, heritage trains, and more. I film across the Sydney Trains, Sydney Metro and NSW Train Link network. As an added bonus, I also film other modes of transport, such as Light Rail and Buses.
Stay tuned for plenty of transport content to come. All videos and photos are recorded and taken on an iPhone 13 Pro.

Took the long way home - Sydenham to Lidcombe - in a warm B set on the cold and rainy Thursday 26th, just because I could. BTW, I'm now reminded how noisy the AC is on K sets.
i'm also doing a series that is called the end of the Bankstown line and a plan is in the future. They're getting rid of stations at yagoona and birrong which will be replaced by buses between Bankstown and regents park or Lidcombe and recently every Friday evenings I always head out to any stations on the Bankstown line last year only covered Bankstown and Belmore the stations covering this week going to be St Peters Marrickville Dulwich Hill Rollstone Park and Canterbury and I'm saving sydenham for another time because it deserves its own video not with all the others and I'm covering those stations on Friday this week in the afternoon and another plan. I'm thinking of is trying to hop on those Southwest link buses and my plan is after Canterbury take a train up to either Bankstown or punchbowl depending on time and it's also sad to see that the whole train line is gone. Well. The Lidcombe trains. Liverpool is still remaining except it's been diverted to go via Strathfield for its new route. And also, I've been recording elevators at those stations and the elevator clips. I'm making a separate from the train ones.
I imagine such an extension would be possible but likely would require a new tunnel to be built from somewhere just east of Bankstown station to Liverpool. But with the new airport due to open in a few years, there could be a valuable opportunity to connect Bankstown and Liverpool to this new airport via an underground metro line in the future. Another option would be to convert the Liverpool-Bankstown corridor to Metro too but don’t think this would be popular as then the T2 and T5 services to and from Leppington would be blocked at Cabramatta, disconnecting direct trains from Leppington and Glenfield to areas such as Parramatta and Strathfield.
by the time that happens yagoona and birrong will close. they already have low ridership and a metro between Kogarah and Northwest via bankstown and parramatta is already in planning
Thank you so much for filming these before it ends for double decker forever as it’s sad to see the t3 Bankstown line gonna end after long time it operate.
8:40 this happened to myself Paul and a few others at Belmore when F1 was passing us, the train horned to say hello and the station staff mistook it as a hazard horn. A little unfortunate for trainspotters.
@@transportforsydneyvlogs7258 no one was past the yellow line… that is the whole point of my comment. Cheers Btw it seems you got told off by the guard of that B set?
A great presentation, thanks. I noticed that the Tangaras seem to take over the Sutherland line a lot.I know I have expressed my discomfort with Tangaras. I did a Sutherland/Loftus production recently on Tangaras with dirty windows and having to ride backwards coming back from Loftus to avoid the sun messing up my video. It had filthy windows, too. Good seeing an Oscar and the old steam train/ Diesel combo. Well done on a nice day.
13:09 am gonna be honest mate, they made a huge mistake by choosing to build the stations that large a 170 m platform??? in sydney, with a metro area population of 5 millions?, naah mate its a huge mistake they could've saved so much money by choosing a platform of atleast 130 m, and starting with 4 car trains 85 m long the cost would've been lower, that means the ticket price will be lower, more people could afford it, and the frequency of trains would've been much lower, maybe every 4mins off peak, and every 2mins in peak hours with the CBTC signalling system, you can get a frequency as low as a train every 40sec 8 and 10 car trains are build in mega cities like tokyo, shanghai, and these big cities are super dense not like sydney with the majority area is low dense suburbs, in my personal opinion, even 130m platforms are big for sydney, a 115m platforms will be enough, even the population growth is low in sydney with average 1.25 growth rate each year.. so.. even if they say "we did think of the future" thats not the case not hating on this metro system, am a rapid transit lover, and i dont like it when designers make such mistakes.. the system look modern and nice, full of artistic works, but when it comes to practicality.. i think its gonna have a rough start and its already showing the low results in the ridership statistics.. unfortunately anyways, congrats on this metro system to sydney's people and all australians, all the love from algeria 💚
I only first spotted T4353 the other day. Great to see it saved in some capacity, though I'm not sure what's going on at the other end where that brick wall is. There's also a couple of old train carriages up in Bilpin, near the Pie In The Sky roadhouse. I think they might've been damaged by bushfires a few years ago, need to find out more, but either way, definitely a few of the old rattler's hiding out in the Hawkesbury.
