Sydney Light Rail Vlog 85: Sydney’s New Tram - A Trip from Dulwich Hill to Sydney CBD

[@claustrovert1]

Really enjoyed seeing the lillyfield to dulwich hill extension again. A lot has changed since its construction. I fabricated all the handrail around the stations back in 2013.

Hi Phil, thanks for another excellent video. The new tram looks great. according to the map, Dulwich Grove looks to be quite close to the former Dulwich Hill terminus of the original tram system, which closed back in 1957. I can vaguely remember the old tram terminus, though I remember the Earlwood tram line a bit better, as we used to live closer to that off Illawarra Road. I can even remember being on a toastrack tram with my mum ans seeing a conductor being knocked off the tram footboard in Illawarra Road Marrickville by a close passing car. Fortunately, he was uninjured and found himself sitting on the car bonnet. He then got back on the tram and continued checking tickets. hopefully, One day, I hope to get back up there and ride this entire line. My last visit in early 2000, only allowed me to ride from Central to Wentworth Park. Interesting seeing the two lines cross near Capitol Square. from memory, crossing tram lines was even a fairly rare sight in Sydney back on the original tram system. Anyway, take care. Rob in Melbourne Australia.

[@All_Stars_gamez123miku]

Nicely Done!

[@Roadrunnerz45]

any idea of the scheduling. love the new look, would have loved a double door at either end but probably not possible on this variant. i know parramatta has it, theirs will be 7 modules.

[@stavrosnanos1135]

Very nice mate when did the trams come into service what you

[@LeonSuperman-vb7ex]

Door sound when tram stop. Sound like London train door closeing

[@CTucky1966]

how long does it take to get to dulwich hill faster than a Bus? at least you have another option to get there now!

[@Crushery]

Service has been there for 26 years now EDIT: It's actually 7 years

[@tonyhworks]

From Central, it's about 40 minutes by bus or tram, about 15 minutes by train.

[@Crushery]

@@tonyhworks And that, but then you can't get around Dulwich Hill with a train

Not a bad looking Light Rail

[@mews56]

Dock double deck tram buses from the upper second deck like a ferry with two storey building like with Victorian two storey building’s fromthe steel awnings balconies with the bridge extending out from the buildings & tram. While cutting cost in architecture where developers refuse to spend any additional money in avoiding to build platforms or stations.As has been proven in Hong Kong & parts of Paris.

[@ashleywilliams4511]

What part of the day do they run because every time I go and look for one they aren’t running

[@Mustang00007]

I just hope that this eliminated some buses otherwise what was the point. Question do these trams ride on rails of 4'8inches or 5' 3inches. Just wondering.

[@yellowmanNemrald]

What’s new about this tram, it’s just like the normal Urbos 3

[@korwnn]

the sign that displays where its going, the closing door alert, more accessible to like people with disabilities etc. someone correct me if im wrong

[@SOmoeononononon]

[@RailDoesTravel]

the desto, train curvature on the sides, new pids, new seat vinyl, new announcer, new alert sound effects and more accessible spots for disabled users

The door-closing alarm is so bad. Why did they add another one!?

[@geoffreymartin2764]

Ok, the indicators onboard are like the ones on the L2 & L3 trams. What else is new? 😈🐉🏳‍🌈
