The thing I like about your vlogs they are different and informative and not in your face, Living in the UK it's great to see what's happening on the other side of the world, You get a lot of vloggers who flood their channel with video's and cover the same old things, well done for being different. Don't forget if a place opens on time someone is up to no good.🤭😇
There will also be an underground connection between Martin place and hunter street stations. Which means you could walk completely underground between Martin place and Barangaroo if you wanted to by 2032
Nice video, Adam. I am particularly impressed that they are driverless trains. This means that unions can’t call a strike at Christmas or holiday times. Hopefully they will extend this to the whole Sydney Metro area!
There has already been strike action on the new Metro line, as whilst train operation may be autonomous it is still dependent on human supervisors, controllers and staff.
Your dreaming it will never happen. Too many people will protest because they don't want their high Capacity double deck trains replaced by this Privatised, Single Deck, Low Capacity, Uncomfortable Metro.
Greetings Adam, Ok, here's our 2 cents: We just absolutely love your vids....great commentary, pleasant voice, top notch videography and editing, lovely inclusion of actual data...can't believe you don't have more subs. We watch a bunch of travel vids, but you're our favorite! Only complaint: I know how much work it is to produce content, but more, please! Blessings!
Oh wow - that’s so wonderful to hear. Thank you! Yes, I’d love to produce more videos … I have quite a lot that have been filmed. The hard bit is finding the time to edit them as I work full-time separately from RU-vid.
As always a very comprehensive & interesting video. I appreciate your candid comments. Thank you for another very professional presentation. My only problem with viewing your uploads is that my travel "Bucket List' keeps expanding😊
Thank you so much for this video Adam! I was in Sydney in July for vacation so missed the metro opening unfortunately. I really appreciate how well you covered literally everything I wanted to see!
Hi Adam Where’ve you been? How are you? I am well, glad that the long hot humid summer in Dubrovnik ended a few weeks ago. Bring on winter. I’ve just begun to watch this upload and look forward to seeing it to the end….more comments to follow. I shall finally be returning to Australia and New Zealand next Feb/ March so shall have opportunity to try the new metro as well Stay safe and best wishes Zoltán
Hi Zoltán. I've been well thanks. Yes, there an unexpected gap ... I had almost finished another video when I went to Sydney to ride on the new metro and was so blown away, I decided I had to make this video (and the research for it took a long time). Glad to hear the weather in Croatia is improving ... I'm looking forward to spring in Australia! That's exciting re your visit to Australia/NZ ... hopefully you like the metro as much as I did. All the best!
@@FromtheWindowSeat thanks for the update. I hope you’re well. This upload was great. So much research you have put into presenting this piece. Bravo. Until the next time. Z
Very happy and excited to see this new era in train travel occuring not just in Sydney but in Brisbane and Melbourne also. The level and scale of engineering is mind-boggling. A great investment for the community. Thanks for an excellent video!
@@gregorygherkins1884 the Underground section (Metro Tunnel) is automated and will have platform screen doors though plus run trains every 2.5min in peak, so it's not that far off.
I’m sorry, it won’t let me comment but I really wanted to thank him for doing this video. I grew up in Sydney and worked in the city for many years but I am now retired to Queensland and have no reason to come back to the city. I would not recognise all the changes. I’m so happy I got to see this video. 😊😊😊
That is impressive I must say. Wonder if they did any filming of it to put into a documentary later on talking to the designers, engineers, staff, etc and going in with the boring machines as they went under the city.
I catch the Metro daily to/from work. Absolutely brilliant. And the stations are beautiful to see after a day's slog at work. Helps you relax in a way. Yours is the best video showcasing the Metro.
Great video Adam as per usual.This is mind blowing...even the concept of driverless trains...WOW,JUST WOW.Keep up the great work mate it is much appreciated and always informative and enjoyable.❤
Very impressive Adam, I recall living in Wahroonga & travelling to Central on the old bone shakers - they took forever. I don't think I would recognize much of Sydney now (30 yrs on). Thanks
That was very interesting Adam...Lots of very interesting info you provided!!! Just wondering are there washrooms at all of the stations? Hopefully I can check this out when I visit...
I plan to do a full travel on the Metro sometime. I did do a little run from Gadigal to Chatswood and I noticed how much fatser it was than the standard old trains could do speed wise(and also just due to how their routes track wise are much better planned) EDIT: Forgot to mention with the vid, I'm surprised with Barangaroo you forgot to the mention their is a walkway that connects to Wynyard station another big hub rail and bus station in the CBD area. Just a little something you missed.
Thank you! I had almost finished another video when I went to Sydney to ride on the new metro and was so blown away, I decided I had to make this video (and the research for it took a long time). :-)
Keep trying to convince everyone that this Privatised, Low seating capacity, Metro Crap is good. It's absolutely NOT. Sydney double deck trains absolutely shit all over this Metro garbage in terms of seating capacity & comfort.
7:30-7:55 Wait, hold on. So they’re going to shut down all of those stations along that mentioned line for a whole YEAR, and convert them into Metro stations?! Isn’t that going to disrupt people getting to and from destinations? Wow, honestly I’m shocked by this whole system and how it works. 😮
Yes.. but it's a small amount of pain for an eventual gain. Both for those on the current T3 who will benefit from much greater frequency and a reduced journey time. And for those on the existing T2 and T8 lines who will be able to get more trains and better frequency thanks to removing the T3 from the city circle.
@@mark123655 well I guess that makes sense, making it better for people. The amount I’ve been through Town Hall and it being so congested on the platforms, I was always worried that someone might fall onto the tracks due to overcrowding. So I am glad that they’re extending the Metro line to places that are most impacted by transport.
Bankstown line should not be being converted to metro in my opinion it already recieves frequent services, its been good enough for so long why waste millions on tax payes money just for a fancy driverless train
@@jaydenwisemantel4167 Four trains per hour off peak at stations like Wiley Park and Lakemba - that is not frequent.. Will become 12 trains per hour off-peak under metro. Good enough is not good enough when the city circle is at capacity and provides no room for growth. This changes provides capacity for what was T3 as well as T2 and T8
Meantime in Melbourne, we are still waiting on the airport rail link. We are so behind Sydney it’s embarrassing. We have a state government that panders to the unions and the bus companies and the city link toll company.
