Nice video mate. The last 2 weeks I've managed to get quite a lot of footage of the testing on the Carlingford line section One week I only did between Rydalmere & Dundas after checking out the Sandown line. The following week I did the whole Carlingford line section from Carlingford to Rosehill getting the testing at multiple locations while walking 7km from Carlingford to Parramatta I came across quite a lot of friendly drivers and crew saying hi, giving me a wave, flashing the lights and ringing the bell. Even had one driver gave me a hang loose gesture. It was great to see that they were enjoying seeing someone getting footage of the Parramatta light rail testing

Hi Elliot 👋 I thoroughly enjoyed this presentation. Your voice-over is perfect with a calm and relaxing tone. Your videography is first class with amazing camera positioning and angles. I am sure the sudden stop at Telopea is for emergency brake testing, especially given the position that it occurred, which was near the pedestrian crossing. I am not sure why the covers were missing from the front of the Trams but maybe it was to facilitate easy towing should the tram breakdown. This is an absolute cracker of a presentation. Well done Elliot 👏 👍

Thanks so much John! Have a great Easter and thanks for watching! :)

[@Chadtransportvlogs]

@@tsetstransport hey 👋 I love the video of the trams test excellent video

[@aussiejohn5835]

@tsetstransport you're very welcome 👍 HAPPY EASTER Elliot 🐰 🐣

[@peterelvery]

Thanks Elliot. Telopea is my favourite station too because it was officially opened by my grandmother in 1925. Clearly I missed that event but I'm hoping to be there for this year's reopening. One thing to note for future videos, there's only one "i" in Yallamundi and it's right at the end😉

[@MrMSetOfficial]

Wow your grandmother opened it! What a piece of history.

[@peterelvery]

@@MrMSetOfficial Yeah. I only found out when I read the history of Telopea station. Her dad was one of the people who pushed for it to be added.

[@MrMSetOfficial]

@@peterelvery then your dad did a great job on adding the station

Great footage Elliot!! The acceleration of the light rail from Dundas station (@8:10) is quite impressive.

[@CockatooTransit]

While the Carlingford-Tramway Avenue section is certainly a textbook example of Light Rail, being a converted railway line that is grade-separated and has gentle curves along its route, after this point towards Westmead, the amount of street running and closely-packed stops reflects both the L2 and L3 (with the exception of the Moore Park region) and is definitely more reflective of a European or Melbourne street tram in those areas.

Great video!

[@geoffreymoore1510]

Thanks for this. Gonna hopefully do some of my own videoing on April 5th. Spreading the word!

[@marcbyrnes293]

Here in America, getting these systems built is a nightmare. We have way too many morons in politics who are incapable of understanding the need for mass transit .

[@ForTheBirbs]

Nice work

[@railcar-explains]

I’m really hoping the door buttons on the tram doors will be used, unlike the L1 line and Oscar H Sets.

[@nswtrains3153]

It is actually used but only for stations like Wondabyne

[@MrMSetOfficial]

Heya Elliot! Yes I heard about it on the News. Bro good video! Keep it up mate! They probably will extend it to connect to the other existing lines…

[@SydneytrainEnjoyer2263]

Cool👍👍

[@hazptmedia]

Great video, bit of a random question but do you know if this will be considered part of the Sydney trams network like the Sydney City trams, or a separate network like Newcastle? Will it be Sydney L4 or Parramatta L1?

[@nswtrains3153]

I have no idea i would expect Sydney L4 but since Parramatta is 2nd CBD and if it is like newcastle i would expect parramatta L1 but it depends what they think

[@tedes72]

It will be L4

[@Chadtransportvlogs]

Excellent video mate when will be open full I will look out for the trams it’s probably opening in May 2024 but I don’t know what date in May

[@nswtrains3153]

May is a bit too soon I have a feeling it will open at the end of this year beacause metro extension is gonna open around the same month the tallawong to Chatswood opened so I think that for parramatta light rail, my opinion I could be wrong

[@EricYu1]

I think it will open at Late December

[@Chadtransportvlogs]

@@EricYu1 okay 👌

[@Chadtransportvlogs]

@@nswtrains3153 or July we will see

[@Chadtransportvlogs]

@@EricYu1 that’s too later

[@Barca391]

At telopea i recognized those staff you met they are usually at the stop

[@maccomplex]

Very narrow platforms. Not much room if the doors open in front of the shelters.

[@angusbeef9200]

i am playing scr right now

[@transportfanaussie]

Who cares?

[@was9503RBLXNewAccount]

Great video mate! Also, why did you unfriend me on roblox? I didn’t do anything to you.
