Sydney Trains Vlog 2279: Mariyung D Set Full Walkthrough

[@scottrutkowski493]

Thank you so much for taking the time to describe these new trains for those of us who are visually impaired and cannot see the cars and what is in them. Your walk-through and description was very useful to me in particular seeing as I am blind and have no vision at all. When I eventually get to ride in one of these cars, at least I now know what to look forward to because of your awesome walk-through. Thank you again for producing these awesome videos for train lovers such as myself.

[@AussieGunzel]

These trains are absolutely amazing! Great walkthrough and honestly I can't wait to ride them.

[@aussiejohn5835]

I really enjoyed this walk through without the screaming hordes of enthusiasts and the gloating politicians, but having said that, the excitement of the first day was great to see. I was a critic of these trains but I am now a convert who can't wait to be baptised by the experience. The stairs are not as steep as the rest of the fleet which will help those with mobility issues to access both decks a little easier. Non flipping seats is still an issue for those of us with medical conditions but in my case I will always join the train at Central when the choice of seating won't be an issue. I wonder if the guard will always occupy the rear cabin on the 8 car set or will they have a choice to occupy the cabin in the centre of the train like the 8 car Tsets. I like the ambience of the quiet carriages with the darker ceilings which will also assist in absorbing some of the sound as well as making it easier to recognise the quiet carriages. Time will tell if the tray tables are indeed unbreakable but I think they will be a great graffiti table for those so inclined. Excellent video, well done Phil 👍👏

[@Roadrunnerz45]

I did not know the guard has a choice in the t set. It would be rare for them to be at the back? What about the Oscars do you know?

[@aussiejohn5835]

@Roadrunnerz45 I worded it incorrectly, and they don't have a choice, but I am wondering if the union will give them the choice with the Dsets. It has been a tradition for guards to be in the middle of the train until Waratah was introduced because they don't have a cabin in the centre of the train and can only be operated with 8 cars.

[@Roadrunnerz45]

@aussiejohn5835 one of the major changes the union wanted with these trains was the ability of the guard to look out the train when leaving the platform. It would therefore be easier for them to do this from the rear rather than middle having to look both up and down.

[@aussiejohn5835]

@@Roadrunnerz45 You are correct about the Dset cabin doors which, by the way were always able to operate independently of the passenger doors with a simple isolating mechanism ( I have a photo of this on the first Dset that was on display at Central Station for politicians and union officials). The placement of the guard in the middle of the trains was for safety of passengers and the convenience of passengers who didn't have to run to the rear of the train on 8 car sets to inform the guard of a emergency or just to make enquiries. You may have noticed that emergency help points and disability ramps are mostly located in the middle of platforms for this reason. The Dsets have the capability to operate as 4,6,8 or ten car sets with multiple guard cabins which is why I questioned the placement of the guard on these sets.

Thanks

[@sydneytrainsvlogs]

Thank you so much :)

[@ethancampbell6076]

Amazing walkthrough mate 👍🏻. The D sets and H sets will combine nicely replacing V sets which was in service over a decade.

[@PiggyNBacon]

Great Video Phil. The new trains are absolutely lovely. Definitely didn’t deserve the hate.

[@sydneyrailvlogsalt]

Great Video. Can't wait to drive these trains...

[@boggeorge]

Wish we had something like this on our longer routes here in QLD. Gold-coast line or sunshine coast take well over an hour, but with no power outlets, tables ect... Nice to see NSW getting a good upgrade.

[@ThomasNing]

T2 to city is an hour twenty, that's a regular suburban train that runs that :)

[@lyndsaysmith]

they look so nice. thx for the walkthru phil :D

[@hamwank]

I had initial doubts about them, but they really look nice, hope I will get a chance to enjoy them soon.

[@andrewbarnett5542]

Enjoyed the video and gave it a 👍🏽. Today, I travelled to Gosford from Fassifern in a D set and found that the seating was on par with the Oscars. Unfortunately the ugly coloured seats of the V set are much more comfortable. I noticed they (V) appear to recline slightly more. The return journey was in V set that was grotty and the windows were gray with soot and grim. I really enjoyed the modern amenities of the D sets. I am non-plussed about the seating with my back to the direction of travel.

[@MichaelTavares]

7:27 that gangway is LIT!

[@Planetrainguy]

i see what you did there

[@jack2453]

​@@PlanetrainguyI don't. ???

[@Roadrunnerz45]

thanks phil for the walk through. remember to get out there on the 6 car sets to see the new 2 carriages not on the 8 cars featuring the ambulent bathroom and dedicated luggage rack carriage

[@PeterArnold1969]

Phil, the only thing you missed that I'd like to know about was at 11:26 between the two seats on either side, some sort of orange and white device. What were they?

[@hipperooni383]

Thanks for the video Phil! Hoping I don't have to wait too long to see these on the SCO

[@rhettcorbett3346]

The Illawarra will be 1 of the last to get these. We are last on the list for everything. Would like to to see more frequent services on the Illawarra Line beside the disgraceful Hour + wait for trains to & from Central & local services.

[@steveamurray59]

Thanks Again Phil.

[@Gribbo9999]

Thanks for that. Good to know that the bike racks are next to the quiet carriage and have a bike logo on the outside of the car. Nothing worse than struggling with those doors and the limited space on the V sets when travelling with bike. Not a pleasant experience.

[@OtherworldJudge89]

Have not seen anyone talk about how these seat a lot less people. Interesting to see how that goes in peak hour

[@Roadrunnerz45]

that is why they can run in 10 car sets as well

[@mikemcnally1454]

Great video, Phil. As a wheelchair user who travels from Sydney to Newcastle twice a year, these trains will make a massive difference. And I travel more frequently on the Blue Mountains line, so I'm so keen for the future rollout. Thank you for highlighting all the accessibility features. Can't wait to take my first trip!

[@AlexanderTheSimmer]

This Train entered Service? Yay! BTW, The Buzzer sound reminds me of the UK London Metro Julibee line. You should compare this new train with the UK London Metro Julibee line Train. their electric buzzer sounds similar If I Ride this and I want or need to charge my phone, That sounds like a good idea to buy an adapter.

[@rdgameing7]

Yes, yes, finally

[@keithmcpherson2895]

Are the luggage racks only in the non-quiet carriages? Mint video

[@bennybagfrom0962]

I just took my first ride on the d set train today

[@nickshen2318]

It start at 1:01

[@game-azing]

3:36 well that was a healthy sound for a fresh new train!

[@Audiophile1967]

Hi Mate Im a Train loving and been watching most of your clips with interesting. Thanks for your post. Do you have time table for the new Mariyung in services ?

[@Trainnerd678]

First and good video

[@pm110978]

Cheers mate. Up before the birds Phil 😃

[@knightman1970]

i was on the same train from woy woy (arrived 6.31 but it was about 3 or 4 minutes late) to gosford i was on my way to work i had to change trains at gosford to go to lisarow as this train doesnt stop there the other train was a Vset and it was old and run down compared to this one - my first thoughts were it nice and bright i wasnt on long enough to really tell if the seats were really comfortable or not they were ok for the short distance i travelled but i would have to find out travelling say from woy woy to central or newcastle i didnt like the fixed seating (i can sit backwards but i am so used to reverable seating i woud rather face the direction i am travelling in) the USB sockets and powerpoints are a good edition but it prbably wouldnt be long until they are vandalised and i also like the information screens when the train got to gosford it says to " ëxit here for hospitals and central coast staduim " also the next stops and how long it will take to get there

[@ashleywilliams4511]

Hey Phil, when the six car set service will you walk through them as well?😊

[@peterelvery]

Thanks. The first D is just for the train type, D Set, not double deck.

[@erniet253]

i like the maring sets there not too bad the v sets will go very soon.nice video phil

[@ORTrainSpotters]

Great Video Phil. They are definitely looking good. Can’t wait to ride on one. Know it’s not my place but are you able to give me a shout out on your next video as my channel is struggling.

[@lachlanmcgowan5712]

As an amateur gunzel, I'd like to ask an experienced gunzel like yourself: How do you find out which services are being worked by which sets? I'm looking at doing a Newcastle-Sydney day trip at some point in late December or early January and I'd like to take the opportunity to make at least one of those trips in a D Set.

[@markswan3209]

The TripView app will tell you the type of set which is operating each run. It’s reasonably reliable, though the current industrial action may play havoc with the run information TripView relies upon.

[@maniraman9869]

Where do you find out the timetable of when the D sets are running?

[@nickshen2318]

Tangara start at 2:24

[@MOHM48]

Watching it now with power! (yes, my house lost power for almsot 24 hrs)

[@youchwb6005]

Hope the seats are not as hard as the current ones.

[@hayabusayoutubeyt]

Hey @sydneytrainsvlogs . I was wondering how you know that time the D sets run? I wanted to know, as I wouldn’t want to be at central at 4 in the morning.

[@hayabusayoutubeyt]

They seem quite nice.

[@Nick-kz6dg]

Why is the RBTU allergic to letting commuters use the buttons to open the doors? Not every door needs to automatically open at every stop.

[@SamSitar]

a lot will have changed by the time i visit sydney again.

[@johndwilson6111]

It will be interesting watching g people's reactions when they start running 12 car sets, which I suspect will happen soon enough. 😅😊😮

[@Timesplitter_01]

I would be weary of using the USB ports for charging as criminals might use them for "Juice jacking". Would recommend buying a "USB data blocker" device for a couple of $.

[@sector5514]

I'd still rather carry my portable power 🔋 bank I don't trust public power outlets or usb cause hackers and scammers can access your device and don't use public wifi either

[@Planetrainguy]

To be fair, I'd much rather ride backwards in one of those seats than forwards in one of the reversible ones from the older trains. I think that decision was a good one tbh. At the same time, I'm from Adelaide so I'm stuck in a 30 year old diesel with seats like concrete.

[@AlexCimmaronBS]

Are these trains running on weekends at all?

[@sector5514]

Not at this stage but they will eventually I can't wait

[@viviennecox-qp4kc]

And will you do a work trip?

A new train Phil D set 53/54 in service the sound is like A/B sets I love to have a ride on one of them

[@leokimvideo]

Yeah no USB-C, these trains were delivered before that became a standard. They are already outdated and they are just delivered. Sydney Trains at it's best, what a joke.

[@Roadrunnerz45]

Pretty sure everyone still has their USB A cable

[@griffonboi]

Acting like they can't just swap the ports out lol.

[@JayJayGamerOfficial]

Makes more sense for the regular USB connector as it is still more mainstream and more secure than USB-C. If you want to use a USB-C connector just bring your own charging brick

[@jack2453]

More a criticism of the tech industry than the rail industry

[@leokimvideo]

@@JayJayGamerOfficial If it was say 15 years ago yeah old style slow standard USB but remember this train is going to be around for 50 years, that USB connection is already very outdated now. So what's it going to be like in 50 years time?

[@Skrealy_OSC]

It's literally a walkthrough!

what do you mean. It's literally a walkthrough!

My parent don’t beliefs the d set is real because they haven’t seen it because we saw only the fucking Oscar’s and they also didn’t believe in the blue mountains line change and the v set still work perfectly I told them that they are going to break saw the d set is comming
