Real time train journey | Parramatta to Central Express | Slow TV

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 through the Inner West of Sydney onboard an express service between Parramatta & Central. Travelling along the Down Main line we thread our way along with "a green wave" of signals keeping us at speed (excepting 2 speed restrictions along the way).
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.

This was very relaxing to watch, and I like the commentary with the captions along the way. Please continue with this series.

The sound of the wheels squeaking around Ashfield makes me think of catching a V set on the CCN. I'm so glad we have this footage of a V set cab ride before they're all gone. I would have liked to see all the way until it stopped at Central though.

That was a good trip, thank you for the information on the Tracks, Well Done.

I love my trains and thay are my everything and I love trains all times

[@TomHommus]

2 decades ago drivers were able to quickly make up the time by exceeding the speed boards. Not sure now but it looks like every driver is afraid to go 5-10 ks over to make up time. Miss the good old days

[@FireFox_60]

People died because of that practice.

western line my fave

[@ralphbyles142]

FANTASTIC video! Thank you. Do the Brisbane to Melbourne freight trains use these same tracks? If so where do they turn right?

[@BigBlueMan118]

Is there a good reason they can't rearrange the tracks just before Redfern into Central so that you have the Western and Illawarra lines in an UP-UP-DOWN-DOWN formation and essentially get 2 separate track pairs into the yard and Sydney Terminal?

[@jamesnelson6953]

is that the thyristor making the hum on acceleration?

[@RailViewAus-i1o]

I'm not sure, but the driving trailer probably won't have any power electronics just auxilliary stuff?
