It's truly the end of an era - The Bankstown Line is SHUT. For the next 12 months, the line between Sydenham and Bankstown will be converted to Sydney Metro services, with a brand new train line known as the T6 Lidcombe & Bankstown Shuttle Line will begin operation between Bankstown and Lidcombe in a few weeks time, stay tuned for my full summary of that line once it opens in a few weeks! :)
Check out my podcast that I made covering the changes to all stations set to be converted on the Bankstown Line below:

Your crazy to go in the rain at night

@mt-mg7tt День назад

Thanks for the video! it was nice to hear the special tooting at Sydenham. I desperately wanted to ride the last 2 trains (even had planned to X trains at St Peters), but very heavy rain at Lithgow delayed me at the last minute. With our absurd 2-hourly timetable it was too late after 7:30pm. I did do it last week when we all thought it was finishing between Bankstown and Campsie. Great historic photos at the end!

The date the Bankstown line is closed is coincidentally the same date Epping Chatswood rail link was closed for conversion.

@Gary-vv5gt День назад

Couldn’t make it, was on Sunday night (Monday morning) and I had work. Luckily was able to make it to that ecrl line train back in the 2017 or something, was Saturday night (Sunday morning to be more precise) and I lived in artamon so that helps. Was a t set lol and the bus ride back home (292 I think), someone puked on the way to Epping and had to ride a puke smelt bus…. Amusing time back then…. Probs don’t have the same energy to pull of this stuff anymore, particularly if I have work next day or whatever tbh

Nice video of the last ever train. I have lived on this line for my entire life. Over these 15 years, it has brought me unexpected happiness, linking me to friends and the heart of Sydney. I have taken the SWL buses and they just don't have the magic the T3 brought me. It will be missed and forever have a place in our hearts.

Transitioning to an Automated Rail System is truly an awesome prospect. Ending the Era of Manned Rail Cars, a history making piece of rail nostalgia that will be gone once the Metro begins operation.

I travel on the Bankstown line a lot as a child and I even have some relatives living along the line (some even formerly) at places like Bankstown, Marrickville and Yagoona (I know Yagoona is not part of the metro). So this will be an emotional thing for me. But at least the line isn't gone forever.

@tedes72 День назад

I don’t know why you wouldn’t want the metro. It eases the congestion across the rail network

@BigBlueMan118 День назад

Yeah it seems like a lot of train nerds are more interested in being able to run a steam train on it or whether it "feels" like an authentic railway experience than whether it actually does a good job of moving people and improving people's lives.

@Gary-vv5gt День назад

Man this give me memories of riding the last ecrl cityrail trains prior to metro conversion…. Was lucky was on Sat night/sun morning and I live near the line back then. Couldn’t make it Bankstown as I had work… (could have asked work for a few jobs in that area as I’m contact with manager of that depot and done previous work there) for a run there on Monday and snooze in the car, but it’s would be far too weird to ask haha. And snoozing in that area in a car when people can see you would be sketchy… Think my last trip on t3 line was crashing at a friend of a friend place back in 2012 in a s set lol, friend puked and passed out

@NicolasDuong-m5w День назад

I wish they didn’t have to convert the Bankstown line. I’m also wondering what the point of what is going to be the new T3 line

Thank you so much man for filming this last train trip ever before no more train services for t3 Bankstown line.

@RGC198 День назад

Excellent video. Being originally from Marrickville, I have been following this closure with great interest. I moved from my Marrickville home down here to Melbourne in mid 1981, though I have a lot of fond memories of traveling along this line. It is interesting that in many cases of any public transport closure it often rains. I suppose that is something that adds to the occasion. My last trip on the Bankstown line was when my family and I visited Sydney back in early 2000. While we were in Sydney, we looked up the old house where we used to live.

@TomHommus День назад

Its not over though its just being upgraded for metro. Its not like the line will disappear. Was it over for Epping to Chatswood? Nope and we're all better for it

@SomeoneIsBreathing. День назад

Downgraded, when it is complete you will need to catch 3 trains to get from Marrickville to Cabramatta😬

@TomHommus День назад

@@SomeoneIsBreathing. How many people want to go from Marrickville to Cabramatta? The issue here is that the train frequency is rubbish. There should be a frequent service so that interchange doesn't cost that much. The metro has 5 mins frequency in the offpeak - this is what the train network should aim for so that people who do interchanges are not inconvenienced. And the 3 interchanges, 4 car (half size) Bankstown train platform you can blame on the restore inner west line lobby group. Originally there was meant to be a direct service from Bankstown to Liverpool but I guess people like you didn't lobby hard enough so the inner west lobby group won out.

I wonder if there's a photo gallery of what these stops looked like in years past. I'm glad you guys have such infrastructure and are so involved in it. ...To reduce glare against windows, I've had luck making light baffles out of black foam. In the US, we have inexpensive pipe insulation made of a particularly matte neoprene. ✂A snip of that gives a nice ring that's easily attached with two-sided tape. Cheers y-all, from North Carolina, US!

@UltimaSpark50 День назад

Are they seriously not bringing back direct City Bankstown via Lidcombe services, even temporarily? Because that definitely existed when I was younger.

@ray2208aus День назад

The issue is lack of available train paths between Lidcombe and city as there will be at least 4 trains per hour from Liverpool to the city via regents park plus trains via Granville from parramatta and leppington. There’s also the at grade junction at lidcombe which could lead to congestion during delays. They have opted for a shuttle between Bankstown and lidcombe instead. There’s also no direct Bankstown to Liverpool service due to challenges in timetabling services across a triangle junction at Birrong/Sefton/, regents park. Finally, Bankstown can currently turn back trains westbound from one platform unless a new crossover is installed over the siding. Typically, Sydney trains terminate 4 trains per hour from av single platform (obviously exceptions to this, eg bondi junction.

@mt-mg7tt День назад

As this video says, there WILL be a train service between Bankstown and Lidcombe, the T6, which will be useful in various ways. I think (perhaps naively), that even the most thick-headed of decision-makers, would hesitate to piss off people so much, as to close off that section. Hmm, you could even run trains out west from there via the Berala-Auburn diversion, but of course that would be using it like a network ;-) .

@TomHommus День назад

@@mt-mg7ttconvert that part to metro as well and connect it with Revesby That would provide a nice north south connection. Currently it's a pain to go from south to north and vice versa. This would make a huge difference.

@mt-mg7tt День назад

@@TomHommus Sorry, I'm not sure which part you mean. Lidcombe - Berala ..(?).. Revesby? Some kind of N-S line could be useful, and interchange with HR at both ends and connect with the Bankstown metro.

some say that increased property developmen especially conversion of houses and industrial areas to apartmentst along the line as metro is more frequent than existing rail services will then address sydney's housing shortages.

To take the Bankstown line off the city circle

@tsetstransport День назад

@@lachd2261 yet the T3 line is still on the City Circle

@BigBlueMan118 День назад

@@tsetstransport the problem wasn't there being a T3 service feeding trains into the Inner West Locals track pair and round the City Circle at all, the problem was the Bankstown Line feeding 8 trains per hour into the Illawarra Line track pair between Sydenhan and Erskineville and then those dividing into the City Circle on both sides. This forced really awkward moves on the tracks between Hurstville and Erskineville/Redfern, and took capacity away from the Airport & South Line particularly as well as the Inner West corridor. Removing Bankstown fixes a lot of these problems, running the Liverpool-Regents Park-Inner West service isnt ideal but is also not that bad. Also running a Bankstown-Lidcombe shuttle T6 service using 4-car Milleniums allows more rolling stock to be allocated where its needed (T4, T5).

@mt-mg7tt День назад

@@BigBlueMan118 Yes, interesting and I understand re the traffic, but mightn't it have been possible just to terminate at Sydenham, where transfers to many other trains and metros are possible? That way you'd still be using the metro's capabilities to the City and North Shore, and it wouldn't deprive the HR network of flexibility. I like that T6 will happen, at least.
