Really curious how this is going to pan out because I travel from Castle Hill but work at Wynyard. You really can't beat the convenience of travelling from Chatswood to Wynyard on the train right now, but if the metro will be that much faster even if I have to alight at Barangaroo and walk...

They should’ve extended the excellent Monorail system to the North and west of you ask me. If it’s good enough for Springfield and Vegas it’s good enough for Sydney, baby!

And also the new extension of Sydney Metro from Chatswood to Sydenham via Crows Nest has now connected commuters of north west Sydney to the rest of Australia by rail at Central allowing connections with XPT and Xplorer trains to Armidale, Moree, Grafton, Casino, Brisbane, Perth, Griffith, Canberra, Broken Hill, Dubbo and Melbourne

Good video you both made. I will still tap on with Trains driven by humans, and supporting jobs for Guards, Drivers, and the Station staff. To me it Doesn't matter if its slower because the trains are double decked and harder to unload, and the lines have more stops, I will still always support the Men and Women working. The metro should be using the Tranport NSW voice by Taylor Owynns for the Door opening sound. And it should be "Doors opening please stand clear" not that other robotic crap. The metro shouldn't be on a long line if the trains don't support it. A metro if for short populated distances, not long ones like it is. Thats why the T Sets are amazing, you can actually sit down in comfort. There obviously weren't enough strikes because now we will see a bye bye to our T sets, bye bye to the jobs of hundreds. All so the lines can be converted to this Metro crap. We didn't need a war against our Train staff, we already have one in our buses after the state privitised everything. The metro marks the beginning of a slow process to wipe out humans from our transport, and also our fleet of reliable,Australian made trains ,and replace them with some stupid computerised crap ( made overseas ). Goodluck.

Good thing this station wasn't renamed as 'Watergardens'!

Great video as always you both! Can we get some insights into the Future extensions into south-west metro? I’m keen to know more about the Airport-Leppington-Glenfield extension! Also it would be great if the metro created a circular line connecting the north-west to the south-west! 😊

this might actually make me visit the city more often. jumping on one train from the hills with no changing is a major bonus even if the time savings will be minimal compared to changing at epping to go via strathfield.

Was in Sydney April this year 2024 changes to central be back down in sydney late september 2024 .

They Forgot to add Welsh Above Lol

Paul another difference of A set and B set is the PIDs

this the best details wow that cool

I really can't watch this one. The video is just too close sorry..friendly respectful feedback.

There is a Princess Alice who was Prince Phillip’s mother.

Haha this is a sweet collab! Hope to see more of you both

Biggest kooks

I love it, my two favourite Sydney metro Vloggers collaborating! More in the future please ❤

6:55 I went through the gangway of a K set on the city circle a few days ago. My poor ears

Theres the 291 that goes through St Leonards. Will the 291 Frequency be Increased from every hour to every 10-15 Minutes in Peak and Every 30 Minutes Off Peak when Metro Extension Opens?

You both have excellent KZfaq sites. This combined episode is somewhat rediculous. The Metro is not a duplication as it routes to new sites that reduce walking time and train crowding. We should be impressed with the politicians who pushed the project through at immense expense but even higher value to the community. Transport NSW should be congratulated on the parts it played and still does. This praise was last offered to all parties involved in the Sydney Olympics.

When the Metro starts running all the way to Bankstown, I assume that Erskineville and St Peters Stations will be serviced by those Illawarra Line trains which presently usually don't stop there. That will slightly increase the travel times for some services on that Line. Interesting fact about St Peters Station: Although the Sydney trams on the "green lines" (Inner south-west) through Newtown closed in September 1957, trams still ran to St Peters Station via the (then still open) Eastern Suburbs system from Redfern via Alexandria until 1959.

16:15 There is a permanent speed restriction on the above-ground tracks from Town Hall to Central where they pass under the Goulburn Street Parking Station. The original piers of the Parking station were rather thin but were reinforced after the Granville Accident, fearing that a derailment under the parking station could bring the lot down on a train with consequences much worse that Granville. Even so, caution rules the speeds of trains passing under the parking station. Ironic that a parking station, encouraging people to drive into the CBD, should be built over public transport! Very 1960's thinking!

"T4"? Oh, you mean the Eastern Suburbs & Illawarra Line? Best not to use those designations for the suburban lines that Transport4NSW uses; people not familiar with Sydney's System won't know what you mean. (Whoever in T4NSW who came up with "T1, T4" etc must have had a lot of spare time on their hands, or maybe just trying to justify their job).

The Line between Waverton and St Leonards could have been constructed straighter, but it then would have had gradients too steep for the 1890s steam trains to handle.

Now both of you gotta do it (also add 3 people and probs I can be one of them haha) once the new cbd metro open..... with one person doing metro and another doing sydney trains lol..... or maybe a 5 way, 1 does bus, 1 does metro, 1 does trains, 1 one does light rail and last person can use ebike or scooter.

I'm very curious about money cost comparisons and end to end time savings

Seeing both of you working together is great. Thanks so much for your informative vids for those of us who live outside the city but visit regularly from regional centres...Joni.

Great video thanks guys, love both your channels

Two of my favourite legends keep up the good work guys 😎🤩🔥

It took 5 years of building Sydney Metro just so this collab could happen

That's interesting to hear Paul that the Metro will get people onto the city quicker than the normal train with the Driver. I would wonder how long it will take for the people That live along the Bankstown Line once the Line gets converted to Sydney metro it would take to get the people living along the Bankstown Line getting into the city once it been converted to Sydney metro?

my two favourite sydney transport youtubers in one video? omggg 🤩🤩🤩

not them casually watching aespa supernova cover in wynyard walk

Excellent video

I like both of your channels. Quite different content

So pleased that someone else has been game to call out the Tangaras. Uncomfortable, poorly designed doors, cloudy windows, fixed hard seats, etc. (But a bit rich from metro-champion Sharath - at least they gave seats 😂)

I look forward to just doing the Chatswood to Sydenham trip just to see the delighted look on the locals' faces. 😊😊😊

No comments 😊

I actually caught a waratah train from bondi junction to martin place this morning. It's not unusual either...

awesome colab!

At least the train system is working better then Sydneys new crap roading system

9:15 Another option would be the light rail from bridge street or wynard. Possibly faster than the transfer.

Isn't it great to have a pair of foreigners telling us about Sydney?

Isn’t Denistone Sharrath’s favourite station?

“TANGARAS SUCK” 🤬 Tho seriously great video and I found it really interesting!

The new extension will be great but as many have pointed out: It might be TOO fast - the distance between stations is way too long on most sections. If there would be more stations it would still be faster than today, but many more places would get metro access. This is even worse for the Metro West

The big disappointment is that the metro won't deliver broader savings to the lower north shore, northern beaches and inner south because of the lack of decent bus and light rail connections at Crows Nest, Victoria X, and Waterloo.

Melbourne public transport is very weak, that’s why 99% of people here in Melbourne are using their private cars

What about Melbourne?

Love the video guys are there gonna be any delays in opening how fast will the trains go will it be the feeling of high-speed rail in Asia or Europe
