I left Sydney in 2012 and I was a truck driver for three decades. It was a nightmare to deliver furniture and large packages in the Sydney CBD area during the 1980s and 1990s. Many times idiots would park their cars in the Loading Zones. I now live in the Gold Coast area in Queensland and retired from the rat race.
Good. I just hope they have designed in a connection point to High Speed Rail from Western Sydney Airport to the regions. While it's not going to get built any time soon, things could change, and in that case having a corridor ready to provide a connection towards Canberra to the south and northwards towards Newcastle and to the West would ensure direct access to the airport for the regions.
Amazed to learn that the new Airport will be only 5 minutes by road closer (then Kingsford Smith) to those approaching via the Hume Motorway (Canberra, Queanbeyan, Goulburn etc.).
Wow, didn’t realise I would need to spell this out. As the new airport is in far western Sydney (as pointed out by Australiana58), I would have thought that the driving time from any of the towns I listed (JohnNy), would be considerably less than driving all the way into Mascot (Australiana58). Open wide, here comes the aeroplane…🥣
Great job, Your videos are more detailed then the professional film crews they contract with all their professional gear you might love to have. If the pro`s had a bit of common sense they should consult with you and pay you for your input..
On previous videos I thought the runways were almost done but now I see there is very much more. Could they be doing a de icing layer or some thing now ?
It look like the excavation at St Mary is just about done. Even the old Coles site looks like it's been cleaned out. I will have to go and have a stickybeak..and probably have another run-in with the tyrannical gatekeepers. Good update mate thanks.
It would be interesting to put up a few vids about connecting to different parts of Sydney. E.g. could I do a train from here to the City direct? How long would it take compared to Domestic to Central? Will trains be frequent? How about a family visiting relatives and wanting to go to Bankstown? How would that work?
What are those deep holes in the ground, I understand they are for the trains but are they underground?? Are there tunnels connecting each station, is that why there are deep pits ??
Can't wait to catch the connecting flight to Sydney Kingsford Smith Airport from here to avoid the hours long trip by Choo Choo train or being stuck in the parking lot they call the M7 and M5!
@@BigJayDogAdventures look at the direction of girders. Never wanted to pick on your awesome footage and thank you for that. I’m just a perfectionist sorry for that mate.
Nice update. Just thinking about the B-double fuel tankers that will run all night full of Jet A1 to and from Botany. Can they use motor way tunnels? The road noise maybe worse than the planes.
@@BigJayDogAdventures Thanks mate I checked and its quite interesting. Quote: "Pipelines transfer fuel received at our Gore Bay Terminal to the Clyde Terminal. Fuel products are then loaded into tankers at the Parramatta Terminal road gantry to be distributed across metropolitan and regional NSW, and jet fuel is transferred via pipeline to Kingsford Smith Airport at Mascot". Truck will deliver via M4, M7 and Elizabeth drive I imagine.
This airport is indeed huge but why is there only one runway. It should be at 2 runways. Kingsford Smith Airport has 3 runways. Can any one comment on this topic?
*There's supposed to be a second runway built at Western Sydney Airport as part of Stage 2 of the airport.* Given the... strange... way that the airport will receive fuel (via road tankers) I don't think there's gonna be enough fuel capacity to refuel planes if they do try to build that second runway. No, they cannot build a pipeline (the Greenies object) no, they cannot use rail (the metro does not allow the use of freight over those tracks). *_I dunno what they are going to do_* (run more road tankers, but there is a limit to that)
Thanks for the reply. T The cost of building the second runway in near future is going to cost heaps more, so it is better to build together now to save cost.@@ozsteamer2755
Aal the orivate land near this publicly funded infrastructure has quadrupled in value. Tax that publicly generated value boost to private land to return the investment to the public. 1% land value tax pays for this in perpetuity and keeps it in PUBLIC OWNERSHIP
Well duh, do you expect an airport to be right next to a massively established area? Airports have always been built on city outskirts and the development has come in after.
I may be wrong but if this is a metro line does that mean you have to change trains at St Marys then go to Central and change again to get on the airport line
I can't believe they haven't built into the plan a "High Speed Train' into the city? Really? You expect people who have sat on a plane all night to get on Sydney Rail to travel into the city? Another typical Sydney "cock up".
Imagine in a few short years all that beautiful grazing land will be covered with ugly buildings, hundreds of cars and thousands of people .... sad to imagine let's hope the developers keep green corridors ....
