Hello from Sydney, Australia. In this video, I will be exploring Sydney using its rail network. In particular, the Sydney Trains and Sydney Metro systems will be covered in this video. Now Sydney's rail network has a bit of a bad reputation but is it deserved? Find out what I think in this video.

Corrections: 1) The caption at 5:15 was meant to say "While the train noise here is quite infamous, I did not find it that bad when inside the train". 2) Also since I somehow went the whole video without mentioning the ticketing system, I'll talk about it here. The main way of ticketing is via the Opal Card, which is a contactless smartcard fare collection system for public transport services in the greater Sydney area and most other urban areas of New South Wales, Australia. In addition to the Sydney Trains and the Metro, you can also use it on the buses, light rail and even the ferries. Also you can apparently use your credit/debit card directly to pay for it, though it must be contactless-enabled. Paper tickets are no longer issued though you can instead get a Single trip Opal ticket.

Sydney Rail doesn't get a lot of hate.... Lots of people love it and use it daily. Sydney Metro is much loved and used often in the Hills District, where I live.

Sydney transport the more superior transport in Australia, hence they were the first to build a metro. Sydney also have the best trains in Australia too.

@FrosstyOfficial 10 месяцев назад

Queesland rail has way better looking trains, relatively quick trains, a big network and reasonably reliable rail which will get even better once cross river rail and Logan faster rail projects are finished. Sydney is only the first to make a metro because they need the capacity and really a metro doesn’t make it superior, it just has more money and there’s a lot more people in Sydney so Ofc they are going to catch the train

@@FrosstyOfficialQueensland? Lmao the delusion. Im not even from sydney but Brisbane is not even in the conversation. Its Sydney vs Melbourne and currently Sydney has the clear upper hand. Brisbane is not even close

@FrosstyOfficial 6 месяцев назад

@@BLACKSTA361 I compared the two because Brisbane has its own form of a metro coming with cross river rail, it's not just Melbourne vs Sydney it's all 3. I stated that the trains are better looking and relatively quick which Sydney lacks in some parts. I also never mentioned anything about Melbourne but I do believe as someone who's been to Melbourne that Brisbane's network is better in most aspects.

@PublicTransportFan___2010..... 9 месяцев назад

Once the Sydney Metro extension to the city (CBD), the deepest station will be Victoria's Cross Metro Station (serving North Sydney), at 31 metres underground. Barangaroo Metro Station is also 25 metres underground.

Well researched and presented. Great coverage of all the issues. Sydney has great rail systems. Buses, not so much. Sadly buses were privatized recently which means it’ll get worse.

@mark123655 11 месяцев назад

Most of Sydney buses have been privately operated for decades.. it's only recently that the last regions have been privatised. The Government still collects and controls the fares, sets the routes and timetables. The Union campaigns against it were mostly totally false. Not that I necessarily agreed with it, but it is what it is.

@brianmorris8045 10 месяцев назад

I heard the NSW government still owns the buses, but the running of them is by private enterprise.

@mark123655 10 месяцев назад

@brianmorris8045 Most. Think the Govt owns every bus bought in the last 10yrs or so, and a few depots, but some operators still own older fleet

@PatSmashYT 9 месяцев назад

Hearing the noises of the train, seeing the rather dubiously shaped objects hanging from the ceiling, the reservsible seats all give me a little nostalgia from when I would go all over the city during my late high school years

@PublicTransportFan___2010..... 9 месяцев назад

Sydney Metro frquencies are 4 mins in the peak

@tamworthtrainnut285 11 месяцев назад

Sydney Metro trains are officially know as TS sets, TS set TS22 is equipped with track monitoring equipment to scan the tracks for defects while it is running passenger services, the track monitoring equipment is not visible to the public, you’d only be able to see the track monitoring equipment on TS22 if you got underneath the train and looked at the equipment from underneath

@oberstleutnant787 10 месяцев назад

Waratah trains are not built by Downer EDI Rail, they were built by China but imported by Downer which was merely a contractor. Australia has no technical capability to build trains. The metro trains are imported but manufactured in India, based on French Alsthom design.

@asd36f 11 месяцев назад

The western terminus of the Metro at Tallawong is having two multi-level car parks being built - the original car park filled up pretty quickly during the week!

I love your editing, and this video is very informative. However, I would recommend you try and put more emotion on your voice, and speak a bit faster as it sounds robotic and boring. But great video, you definitely should have more subscribers

@moon993 11 месяцев назад

Thank you for your nice words. I'll admit, I'm not the best at doing voiceovers and it is my least favorite part of video making.

@suave-rider 11 месяцев назад

@@moon993 just read like you'd talk to somebody, don't sound like some AI robot

@theexcaliburone5933 11 месяцев назад

I thought the voiceover was fine, also a lot of these trio reports just use text for narration, I’m sure no one would mind if you did that was well

@harryodonovan8376 10 месяцев назад

Yeah I agree .. nice point Uncle Pete

@harryodonovan8376 10 месяцев назад

This guy kinda sounds like a robot .. possible to spice it up a bit ?

@mark123655 11 месяцев назад

Great video and very well reaearched. Shame you didnt get to cover more of the Metro stations. The designs are pretty good imho and show a lot of variety.

@moon993 11 месяцев назад

Thank you. I didn't go to the Metro stations beyond Castle Hill because I thought the actual trip was already getting to long as it was at over 50 minutes.

@tamworthtrainnut285 11 месяцев назад

At Epping, Sydney Trains T9 services leave from platforms 2 and 3 for services towards Hornsby via Beecroft, platform 1 for services towards Gordon via Central, NSW TrainLink Intercity express services towards Central from platform 1 and NSW TrainLink Intercity express and all stations Central Coast and Newcastle line services to Gosford, Wyong and Newcastle Interchange from platform 3, Sydney Metro services towards Tallawong leave from platform 6 at Epping and going towards Chatswood, Metro services leave from platform 5

78 Series 1 Waratah A set trains were originally meant to be built but due to Series 1 Waratah A set A2 suffering from a severe oil spill causing severe electrical damage, A2 was scrapped and series 1 Waratah A set A80 was built to replace Waratah A2, series 1 Waratah A set A42 was involved in a crash at Richmond station on the T1 Western line, carriage D6342 which hit the buffers at Richmond is still under repair and has been temporarily replaced with a carriage from a testing Waratah A set with carriage D6379, Series 1 Waratah A set A42 is still currently in service today with carriage D6379

Took the metro for the first time around the release date of this video to see a friend at uni. Love the clean modern look. Best part though is the noise. Makes the hottest damn sound I’ve ever heard from a train as it goes from 0 to top speed. A wonderful tri-tone acceleration.
