Amazing video phil at Parramatta light rail children's railway tram station

[@ChadTransportshorts24]

Excellent video Phil

You've given me something to do in a few months when I'm in Sydney

[@edwardleecaliforniausa]

Hi happy Tuesday night and great video and I enjoy your channel

[@RGC198]

Hi Phil, thanks again for the update. The area there seems quite scenic, especially next to the reserved track. Great seeing the tram having a test run during your journey. Anyway, take care. Rob in Melbourne Australia.

Great Video - Scheduled/Shared.

[@matthewciappara6506]

Thanks Phil for your honesty on the various opening days on some of the major transport projects, l really like the green section of the line.

[@AbitLippy]

Last I heard opening end of August but we'll see I guess 🤔

[@sydneytrainsvlogs]

I was out and about today on this line. It is looking very close to opening :)

[@DAEMTAM]

I really hope the signalling is treating it more like a tram (visual) than heavy rail, the CBD light rail is terrible at signalling (green light for cars, red for light rail)

[@DAEMTAM]

Also a pity they couldn't do more Greenway as it's much better

[@hazzman08]

Parramatta LightRail has officially been named L4 Parramatta LightRail

[@sydneytrainsvlogs]

Sweet! Cheers :)

[@hazzman08]

@@sydneytrainsvlogs I shoudlve also mentioned that from next week it will be running 5am-1am as this will be the final part of testing

THE L4 LINE PHIL

How does the parramatta light rail gets its power

[@staryoshi06]

I do feel like there should be another stop between those two. maybe just before the green track.

[@DAEMTAM]

Not sure how I feel about the battery over wires situation, I've seen many light rails in Europe with wires and personally I think it's fine. If it was a huge cost saving sure, but the light rail per km cost is crazy in Australia as we over engineer (the battery technology is an example).

[@Roadrunnerz45]

no yellow lines on the edge of the platform. hopefully added very soon! am really worried they will not!

[@ForTheBirbs]

Speaking of technology, there's the new info screens and announcements tech upgrade for the bus network.

[@sydneytrainsvlogs]

Ooo that’s very interesting you say that! I was on a 438X yesterday and the bus had screens and announcements which i found very useful!

[@ForTheBirbs]

​@@sydneytrainsvlogsSounds like the same as Northern Beaches B-Line

[@GhostlineExpress]

Oh I love those trams but parramatta is too far for me to go to

[@hazzman08]

On board batteries, there are sections of track that is overhead wired.

[@GhostlineExpress]

@@hazzman08 ok

[@All_Stars_gamez123miku]

Yo Phill Why don’t you add a little detail to ur vlogs and say the title or do more sneak peeks not forcing you just giving you an advice 😅 hope it helped!

[@traingeekfromNSW]

What editing software do you use Phil? 😊

[@captainethan8932]

For the intro either stock edited footage or hired animators, for the main video IMovie for Apple

[@traingeekfromNSW]

​@captainethan8932 how did you know? Did Phil tell you?
