Sydney Trams at Circular Quay! | The Cairns Railfan

Hello everyone, welcome to a brand new video where we find ourselves for the first time on this channel outside of Queensland! Where we do find ourselves today is the Australian state south of Queensland known as New South Wales where we will be tramspotting in the city business district of the state capital, Sydney around Circular Quay on Alfred St and George St, I hope you enjoy!
For context, the current Sydney Light Rail network spans just over 20 kilometres in length and has 3 lines with Circular Quay being the terminus of 2 of those lines which are the connections to Randwick and Kingsford so those are the services we will be seeing at Circular Quay in this video. The Randwick and Kingsford Lines have only been opened recently in 2019 and 2020 respectively so are only a few years old! The 1st line was the connection to Dulwich Hill opened back in 1997 and was the only light rail line in modern Sydney for many years until now! Currently the 3 light rail lines are owned by Transport for NSW with operations currently contracted to Transdev Sydney and a 4th line is currently being built at Parramatta Park to be isolated from the other 3 lines.

Hello the trams at 3:18 would of been 040 leading and 039 at the rear as the rear tram was 039 and the corresponding sets are usually coupled up to eachother

[@thecairnsrailfan]

Alright thanks!!

[@johnsmart964]

Thank you very much for providing us with this very interesting and informative video presentation which is very much appreciated. We are absolutely delighted to see such a tram service as well as the suburban rail overhead. I notice the metal strip in the centre of the tram track, is this where they pick up power from as it is noticed that there are no overhead contact wires and pantographs on the tram cars?

[@thecairnsrailfan]

No problem, thanks for your comment! Glad to see your other comment that you got to the bit about the APS system and how it works.😄

[@johnsmart964]

@@thecairnsrailfan Using this system in historical cities is most useful as it means that the historical cityscape is not marred by the paraphernalia of overhead electrification.

[@thecairnsrailfan]

@@johnsmart964 Yeah!

Don’t worry, I am making another video😄 It’s currently being worked on; sometimes I’m busy and don’t have a new video to upload all the time. I have been busy recently but it’s all good as the next video of Sydney Trains at Eastwood is being worked on so it’ll be out eventually!🙂
