Nice video & very informative. I didn't know about the tracks rising up to stations, for example. Genius! Good luck with the model !

😀Great clip. Really well presented. Must look at some of your clips from the 'Mother Country'. Two comments: - The Metro system is wheel chair accessible throughout. I think the platform accessible door signs just indicate where the foldable seats are located in the train for wheel chair parking space. - The upslope approaching stations and downslope on departure isn't really that new. Stations on the Sydney City Circle (mostly built in the 1920s) often feature it. If you watch some of the 'cab view' clips you can see it. Exceptions will be in places where the line climbs or descends due to the geography, such as the steep climb out (1 in 30 I think) from Wynyard station up to go across the Harbour Bridge.

On the weekend of the open day at the Martin Place Metro station , not only were the trains not running through this station , but the remainder of the line was closed as well. I discovered this when I attempted to catch the Metro train from Castle Hill station , however the replacement bus trip was interesting - especially the return trip over the Harbour Bridge through the apocalyptic weather scene on that stormy afternoon ! 😮

Oh that's strange, I took a ride on the operational part of the metro after filming this video and it seemed to be fine!

Great video and welcome to Sydney. Youll see very few people buying single use tickets these days (probably due to the price premium) and most people have auto top-up on Opal (which unlike the London system can be collected anywhere). Plus the ability(like London) to use any credit card. Gates and overall system is similar yo London, as Cubic Corp is the primary provider on both.

Nice to meet you at Chatswood metro, Do they stand on the right hand side in the UK? I thought it would be the same as the driving side.

[@MikeWillSee]

Yep, if you go on the London Underground you'll find a bunch of signs on the escalators telling you to 'stand on the right' and if you were to stand on the left you could expect a lot of disgruntled tutting! Anyway it was nice to meet you at Chatswood as well!

[@IanWaters-nn6il]

All Sydney public transport, including the Metro, uses only contactless card payment - either the Opal card, or, for example, a Visa card or Apple Pay on your phone - No tickets - no ticket slots.

The real question is- Why do people on the London Tube escalators stand on the right? It's just the Tube, if you go on other escalators anywhere else in the UK people stand on the left Aussie style. Weird.

[@MikeWillSee]

Can't say I've noticed that. Most people I know automatically go to the right on escalators even if it isn't the tube. The only exception I can think of is in shopping centres etc. where people stand on both sides (or even in the middle!) because they're not rushing around as much so don't leave space for others to overtake!

[@strikerbowls791]

You drive on the left, why don't you stand on the left 😭

[@MikeWillSee]

I'm not sure to be honest, but it's always been that way!
