Turn on captions for some commentary & random facts! (Current permanent speeds are shown in the left hand corner for the more interested viewers.)
Join us for a train cab view into the city of Sydney via one of the 'fastest' corridors... Unfortunately the service was unable to operate to max speed due to a preceding stopping train :(. The weather gets abit knarly around Revesby-Narwee but soon clears up.
For more identical type videos search TfNSW slow TV as they are quite popular. This video has been made with the same approval from the relevant authority TfNSW.

Thank you for this video. I learned a few things about signalling from this video.

Oh nice, this is the one I was on. I remember we were delayed as always and then slowed even more because of the stopper. Lots of people had luggage

It's very unfortunate that this service is never allowed to overtake the stopping service using Platform 2 at Glenfield.

@@RailViewAus-i1o one time a while back now we did use platform 2 but ended up behind the stopper again because of a fault or something

@@RailViewAus-i1o Any thoughts on just finishing the quad tracking from Glenfield to Revesby, reinstating 160kmh running, extending electrification to Picton and bringing the Southern Highlands service into the InterCity family properly with a permanent terminus at Central, or is that overkill and they just need to find a way of enabling these trains to overtake the T8 stopping trains?

Reminds me very much in terms of track layout to an entry into one of the big London terminals such as Euston or St Pancras from the north. Great journey... We'll maintained track, ballast and trackside compared to Europe.

would you be able to get a video along the north shore line? I find it a gorgeous line to travel on :)

Very nice. Swedish train driver here. Interesting to see how things work on the other side of the globe! The speed limits seems highly restrictive on good quality, straight track, especially the section where it was dropped from 160 to 115. Any particular reason for this?

mismanagement on behalf of rail operator 15 years ago, but now most staff forgotten such speed is possible....

You've gone Illawarra local so have I... We desperately need a speed run of 160km. Sydney track is far better maintained than Melbourne.

Very cool video how often do all stops services go via Sydenham

As a suggestion, maybe you could add a speedometer so we know how fast the train can accelerate and brake. Also could you give a link to another video or article as to why Suburban train drivers have to stuck to blue? Also just wondering if a Waratah/Millenium went to Cardiff for maintenance does it stick to blue or white?

This video and channel are amazing! However, I don't think you should do this. The last creator, Sydney Trains Cab Videos, who did something similar, had their channel taken down by Sydney Trains. I’m not sure of the specific reasons, but Sydney Trains Cab Videos mentioned it was due to showing certain content. Just a heads-up!

How many signals down the line have to travel through before a signal goes from Stop to caution?

@dotrail 3 ай бұрын

from caution there is one block gap between caution and stop, so it would go from preliminary medium - medium - caution - stop. however some signals may indicate a low speed aspect (red over red over green) which indicates you can pass this signal at low speed but expect the next signal to be an absolute stop.
