Sydney Trains Vlog 2292: The 3rd Mariyung Roster is Now in Service

[@meerabains-866]

Thanks!

[@sydneytrainsvlogs]

Thank you do much! :) I hope you’ve been well

[@danieltaylor3755]

Love the channel. Im addicted to the Sydney trains voiceovers.

[@SamSitar]

long ago i spend one week Sydney Australia.

[@RGC198]

Excellent video. Thanks for sharing. The new trains look quite impressive.

[@flamingfrancis]

Saw the concept of coupling two four car sets used south from London well over ten years ago. Also used on sets from Wollongong to Central on occasions for some time....makes perfect sense.

[@graememellor8319]

We ran 4 car sets for many years across the Syd network, as a guard used to work red rattlers with two single deck driver control cars and two single or double deck trailers between which were frequently coupled into 8 car sets.

[@leeroberts1192]

Out of Waterloo you get trios of class 450s couple together, they're 4 cars each. You've also got the class 395s (known as Javelins) which are 6 cars each, often coupled up in pairs. Some routes here in the UK have got ASDO, where the train automatically only enables the passenger doors that are in the platform

[@Syd_plane_and_train_spotter777]

What set numbers are in service? I know D64, D53, D44 and now D 56, 57

[@justinsimmonds5674]

Interesting. I went to Newcastle for the day on the date this video was filmed. Went on a V set both ways.

[@sydneytrainsvlogs]

Can’t go wrong with a good ol’ V Set! :)

[@justinsimmonds5674]

@ Yeah. Those V sets super comfortable. Didn’t feel sore at all even after almost three hours on it. The only other train I have been on where I don’t feel sore after an hour are the ex-G set Tangara and the Xplorer. I haven’t been on an XPT or a Mariyung yet, so I can’t comment about those.

[@monicaheart7973]

I just rode the d set yesterday IT WAS SO BEUTIFUL AND GOOD

[@sydneytrainsvlogs]

I’m glad you liked them :)

[@nickshen2318]

​@@sydneytrainsvlogs phil I never rid eit cuz my parents say no maybe next week but I wana ride it now or tomorrow pls help me to get here I live in fairfield

[@RailDoesTravel]

[@GabrielleAlexandra]

Looks like a 4th Mayiyung is now on the tracks 16/1/25

[@sheepsanctuary1891]

Hi there love the videos it would be great to see some videos of the new xpt train

[@CaptainsChannel58]

I saw that V39 the other day with it written on with texta LOL

[@potatomasher100]

Do you know where to find out what dates and times they are running? Ive taken pot luck a couple of times but i don't think I will be successful using hope

[@ashleywilliams4511]

How many sets are getting modified a week cause i see a lot getting towed still

[@sydney_trainspotting]

Well!! A few vlogs back I said "that there might be a 3rd one on the rooster" seems like i was correct!! Thanks Phil!!

[@SamSitar]

how do you find those run numbers?

[@scottfer4739]

The Software for Automatic Selective Door Operation (ASDO) has not been updated from 8cars to 10cars.

[@sydneytrainsvlogs]

Cheers for that info! It’d also explain why they are on express runs only (not stopping at short platforms).

[@Jaydenstrainvlogs]

What do you edit your videos on?

[@sydneytrainsvlogs]

iMovie

[@Jaydenstrainvlogs]

@ well thank you very much

[@neilkrenos3609]

This train I rode the other day for the first time!

[@sydneytrainsvlogs]

Did you like the new train? :)

[@neilkrenos3609]

@@sydneytrainsvlogs yes it was good just sometimes it would rock

[@Actress_Monica_Biel]

Hey there! Exciting times with the 3rd Mariyung Roster now in service! Can't wait to see how it changes the travel experience in Sydney. Have you had a chance to ride it yet?

[@JohnOakes-s5r]

From 31st December, the Up Suburban Line to Platforms 5-8 was renamed the Up Steam! The Down Suburban Line from Platforms 5-8 was renamed the Down Steam. This was to avoid confusion with the Up Suburban Line to Platform 16 and the Down Suburban Line from Platform 18. The tracks serving Platforms 9-14 are still known as the Bankstown Lines even though Bankstown trains haven't used them since 1926!

[@sydneytrainsvlogs]

Oh very interesting! Thank you for that info :)

[@raadyusuf6763]

When will the d sets operate on the weekends, or is it just the h sets

[@sydneytrainsvlogs]

Probably not until the middle of the year at this stage. Until then it’ll just be H Sets

[@SCOTransport]

Wish they come to the South Coast……………. We need d sets…

[@osurambah6069]

Do u know when the early Mariyung Sets will enter service like D2, D3 etc

[@sydneytrainsvlogs]

I’m not too sure They are modifying sets as we speak but I don’t know what order they are being modified in.

[@sairamanathan2389]

hey mate do you know when d sets are starting to run on weekends

[@pacomarveeny9640]

When will the 6 car sets be delivered to service?

[@Transport_Waratahs]

I filmed those 2 D sets on the 6th of January for my channel

[@sydneytrainsvlogs]

Nice! :)

[@oufukubinta]

These trains look really nice with no ugly yellow doors, a modern livery and side-displays. Too bad that you can't flip the seats

[@NSWtrainspottingvideos]

It starts(revenue service) as a 4 car all stops service to Gosford where another 4 cars join it to Central then as you said

[@Roadrunnerz45]

7:25 - look forward to the 6 car sets and the minor differences compared to these 4 car ones

[@TANSW1]

Does 3rd mariyung roster mean the 3rd mariyung to enter service? Likle now theres 3 sets in service

[@sydneytrainsvlogs]

By roster i mean 3rd V Set taken over by a D Set

[@TANSW1]

@ oh ok thanks phil

[@Paul-hs5id]

Phil, when do you think 6 car D set will be in service?

[@sydneytrainsvlogs]

Not for a little while as there’s still a bit to do to be able to run 6 and 10 car runs such as the Automatic Selective Door Operation for the shorter platforms. That’s why the D Sets that are in service now only run as 4 or 8 cars. Also they don’t stop at the short platforms yet and are only on the express runs.

[@Diccslap1]

It’s only a matter of time until the eshays find this train

[@sydneytrainsvlogs]

Hopefully karma gets them

[@ashleywilliams4511]

When will the 6 car variants enter service if anyone knows

[@margaretgood580]

BEAUTIFUL LOOKING TR AIN .. but the problem with these new trains now is LESS SEATING.. how will they get by with big crowds..

[@SydneywithSam]

Longer trains, they plan to configure the trains to 10 carriage 6+4 configuration to increase capacity

[@MM-eb6ef]

We need these NOW on the Blue Mountains line. This is torture! Do you know the ETA?

[@fishingcat_]

1-2 years

[@belchy94]

Won’t be any on mountains until at least towards the end of the year

[@Aviation-w7w]

The South coast will come in Feb-June and then the Blue Mountains will come at early 2026 ( i think)

[@belchy94]

@Aviation-w7w so they change it again doing south coast line first make sense

[@Aviation-w7w]

@@belchy94 yeah its weird how they changed it

[@Randomsydneytrains]

When do you think they will start operation on the south coast?

[@Aviation-w7w]

I think around March or February possibly

[@SCOTransport]

@Aviation-w7wO REALLY!?!? YAY

[@Aviation-w7w]

@@SCOTransport yep :)

[@TANSW1]

This might be the one i saw at epping on wed 8 jan 2025😊

[@sydneytrainsvlogs]

It could be :)

[@TANSW1]

@ hopefully, that means one less d set and less that have to be tested, etc, etc

[@TANSW1]

@ btw do you know how to add chapters to my vids?

[@drecion1]

Does anyone know when these trains service the Blue Mountains line?

[@belchy94]

I believe later on this year maybe towards the middle to the end of the year

[@ParramattaGarbo2]

Early 2026

[@GazzOak69]

Was toying with the idea of fetching one (at least to Hornsby to Epping or bewora) while working in Hornsby but time wasn’t kind to me…. Ahh well will be ending up in Hornsby (or Epping) quite a fair bit in my job life so maybe next time. Usually I work in northern beaches but will frequently end up in north shore or Hornsby Or maybe find a fart weekend if is does run a weekend sometimes soon

[@belchy94]

I wonder if any are going to take any Oscar runs yet?

[@monicaheart7973]

Tray table I could eat

[@sydneytrainsvlogs]

The tray tables are such a great idea! :)

[@neilkrenos3609]

And I was 56!

[@sydneytrainsvlogs]

Nice! :)

[@graememellor8319]

Considering how late these things are they certainly are taking their time getting them into revenue service.

[@sydneytrainsvlogs]

After mid February they will start ramping up the entry to service of these trains :)

[@Davo8830]

Wollongong needs more trains including the Wollongong trackless tram around the city.

[@estellebright2579]

trackless tram is just a fancy bus underneath. It is not a tram or light rail.

[@Robert-um6fr]

no-one needs trackless trams. they aren't catching on because they have zero positive impact on land use, much like BRT. At least there's a distinct role and cost and project build time advantage for BRT, especially as the vehicles on these lines overseas move to BEV ops.

[@brettyallop6018]

Man, they are nice looking trains! Such a shame that they have sat in mothballs for so long!

[@carisi2k11]

Should just use the 6 cars as super 6's and run more frequency.

[@sector5514]

V sets - will always be the best NIF'S - are awesome trains aswell Oscars - are crappy 👎

[@nickshen2318]

cuz your not talking to me

[@monicaheart7973]

It’s better than v set

[@sydneytrainsvlogs]

They are smoother but i’ll always have a soft spot for the V Set fleet :)

[@sector5514]

No way they're good trains but they are not better than the V sets

[@nickshen2318]

im sad

[@adiankhan-i3i]

V sets (2nd last silver sets) and K sets (Last silver sets) retire right now
