Hard to believe all the milestone anniversaries happening for Sydney Trains lately... 2018 - 30th anniversary of Tangara 2019 - 40th anniversary of Bondi Junction line 2020 - 20th anniversary of Airport Link stations
Oh look... Green Square. I live in a 10 minute walk from that station. I was only 7 when the Airport Link stations first opened, and GS was naturally the first of those stations I saw. Hard to believe next year will be 20 years since this line opened.
Unacceptably dangerous narrow platforms, all on this line will have to be widened, at Domestic & International passengers congregate with bags at stairs with bags, you can't get past, Green Square is crowded in the mornings. Should have been built as wider island platforms, to allow escalators, lifts and stairs to be grouped.
👏 Excellent vlog on the Airport Line, Phil! Can you do a freightspotting vlog on the Southern Sydney Freight Line at stations like Casula, Ingleburn, Minto or Carramar? And could you do a #TravelSeries vlog from Campbelltown to Picton on an Endeavour, or a #TravelSeries vlog from Parramatta to Blacktown, please?
150 years ago, the rails in Sydney came in use shortly after Melbourne. This is just based on my knowledge, but you do have an intelligent friend called google.
@@Niko-lu4fi Incorrect. 300 years ago was way before Australia was even colonised and 200 years ago was only when Sydney was starting to grow rapidly into a large city. Around 150 years is a lot more accurate
Hi Phil, thanks for sharing this fascinating video. I have never even seen this line. If I ever get back up to Sydney, I will make an effort to travel on it. My last Sydney visit was in early 2000. From what I have heard, this line is on a different fare system. Would that be correct? Also, what suburb is near Green Square station? Anyway, take care. Robert.
Thanks for that. Unfortunately, I haven't travelled on the Airport Link so far, bur if I ever get back up to Sydney for a visit, that is definitely on my bucket list. Years ago, when I lived in Sydney, I was at Marrickville, which is not that far from Mascot airport.
RGC198 The Airport Link stations had a separate fee paid to enter and exit the stations, however that fee recently got abolished for Green Square and Mascot. Still applies to Domestic and International though.
Their windows are different, their doors are different, their seats are different, their sounds are different, the front is rounder on an oscar along with different colours.
