Sydney Trains Vlog 1917: Trains at St James 

Thanks mate! :)

@@sydneytrainsvlogs you're very welcome

Trainspotters in those days just loved the, sight, sound and smell of the magnificent Red Rattler in the City Circle tunnels.

The a set at 4:59 sounds like an f set

@@TheRealMillennium I went back to look and listen and you are correct. There are definitely similarities especially if you listen to the audio only.

@@aussiejohn5835 Yes the best trains of all time 👍

@@pm110978 Definitely agree with that.

The third one uses the unused platforms behind the wall and the concourse ticket gates

Same

Me to:)

If you look closely it's actually B41

@@basicopplayz4143 At the time of commenting it was a D set. He has since changed it back to a B set.

becoming less likely as they fill in the platforms in the middle already

@@Woodland26 I am glad you mentioned that because I can remember quite clearly the 2 unused platforms prior to them being covered. I have been told that they were used for terminating trains prior to the completion of the city circle but that has always been disputed.

@@aussiejohn5835 digging back the history of the station construction, there was 4 arches the middle 2 being proposed for the eastern/western railway that never was. Train driver point of view video often point out the lock up tunnels as they go towards Circular Quay. Those tunnels was used during war time. Some tunnel work toward Town Hall was done when they were doing the station but never used. As for terminating trains it makes sense to do so. There was definitely tracks in the middle platforms when I looked at it in the 80s, but never seen any trains on it of course.

@@Woodland26 Again I thank you because I remember the tracks as well and I have a vague memory of seeing a train on one of them but that was in the late 50's and I was very young so it may not be a very reliable memory.

Because they're brand new

one of the newest ones
