Whats the difference between Metro & regular train services?..

Paul, can you please do a Part 3 and some videos on the Brisbane Metro?

Thanks, Paul. Great video. My memory of Ocean View station is that it would be adjacent to the opening off the highway at the end of the Armco railing that can be seen after the drop down off the overbridge. The station was very close to the road, and slightly above it. There appears to be no signs of it now. When I was teaching in Bowral in the 1960s, a friend of mine who taught at a small school near Robertson, had arranged for us to ride in the cab of a freight train down to Unanderra. I missed the train at Robertson because of the trip out from Bowral, but my friend went anyhow. I scurried out to Ocean View, parked the car in the paspalum at the side of the road near the station, just in time to find the train coming around the bend under the overbridge. I climbed up into the cab of the diesel through the front door. The crew were kind enough to pull the train up for me. To keep the story short - we rode in the cab of one 44 class diesel to Summit Tank, changed to another 44 that was attached to the front of the train, having just come up as a helper from Unanderra on another train, swapped over at Unanderra into another 44 helping at the front of a freight train going back up the hill. We changed to the second 44 at Summit Tank and the helper diesel detached to help another train down to Unanderra. So we rode in four different locos, and met four sets of crew, who were all friendly and helpful with information.

Should we make the Public Transport Cheaper. We should make it 25 cents 1 way and 1 back. It will help. When you go to places and go back home later in the day, The Cost is 50 cents per day. 50 cents x 7 days = $3.50 cents. 50 cents x 31 = $15 dollars and 50 cents. and 50 cents x 365 days = $182.50 cents 182 dollars and 50 cents. Cheaper than a car that cost $30,000 Dollars a Year. We should make the price 25 cents one way and 25 cents back with 50 cents. It will help increase the Frequency of Public Transport Services, Reducing Traffic, and Roads being Quieter. That will be a Good Idea.

Paul, you need a much bigger mask to cover that snoz 😊

Great Video, I was wondering what the current & expected daily pedestrian volume will be (am/pm/peak for weekdays & weekends) at the new Martins Place Station. They mentioned 13.500/day but thats by 2036 not when it opens or I might misunderstood?

I hope the refurbished platforms have escalators for both up and down instead of stairs!! At roma St. Hope Central gets a refurbished as well. Will these new stations been closed at night?

Central Station

1 Year later awesome and informative video.

I am 76 YO and my first memories are looking at this line from our house in Brown Avenue when I was about 4 YO. I guess this line's original purpose was to haul coal for Bunnerong Power Station??

in the early 80s as kids we used to ride out trail bikes along that rail line from Botany to Tempe tip

Great video Paul (and team). Can’t wait to see and experience this for myself. 😎

A lot of people protested all this but to me it is a much improved service with the tram only a few meters from the train,the tram is very regular and gets you closer to the beach also having the bus station right there.

They'll end up thanking God that they started making it when they do need to max it out.

The South Coast Line is not a branch line!

What time is the blueish pedestrian link ?

I have rarely seen such a badly maintained working line and never one that gets the traffic the Botany line has to deal with.

In China, the metro construction usually uses a gantry crane to lift the TBM components into the tunnel for assembly, I wonder if wheeled cranes are used over here?

Please don't shut down the Bankstown line we love being able to get around.

Awesome content!!! Thanks for the video

Just found your video, brought back many memories of the late '60s and early '70s. Worked freight trains from Port Kembla North to Moss Vale, Medway Quarry and Goulburn as a guard. I remember doing safe working duties at Summit Tank signal box when the line was Electric staff, detaching and dispatching bank engines from both front (840 ton loads, train #s 821, 829 and 835 for Goulburn destination ) and rear (1200 ton loads of steel, #s 801,803 and 807) for Dynon destinations. All long before the current platform, behind which many years ago was the turn table for the steam locos, mainly 50 class I believe. I remember it could be a cold, damp and miserable place on a winter's foggy night.

Can you Talk about the New Sydney Trains Map Including the Southwest Link Buses Please?

I am not in Sydney but will be there in November so I was wondering is this station actually operating?

As I’m seeing updates of the stations while I’m heading to work or around the Brisbane CBD City, I see exciting news from the Cross River Rail website and new stations (Channels 7, 9, Ten, and ABC News). 1. The upgrade works in the Roma Street station subway is nearly completed with the finishing works. 2. The lifts, escalators, platform-screen doors, stairs, block works, building frames, the canopy roofs, and timetable screens are all being installed into place. 3. The new Exhibition station is nearly finished with the canopy roofs installed, the stairs, the new side track bridge, and fit-out electric wires are going into place. 4. Albert Street station is about to head to ground level around July and August while the lifts and escalators are both in place. 5. The Southern Portal from Boggo Road is about to be nearly finished with fit-out electric wires and lights installed. 6. Dutton Park station is taking shape with the overpass walkway installed from December 2023 and the lifts are in place. As 2024 is flying before the world heads towards 2025, I can’t wait for more updates and The Cross River Rail going to put the trains for testing like the Brisbane Metro buses.

Will the HCMT Be Extended from 7 to 10 Cars so Platforms at Each Station on the Dandenong Lines and the Sunbury Line?

Port Botany... with more contaminated land than Chernobyl

Fantastic detail thanks heaps 😊

That fence that separates the metro line is only meant to exclude people. It wouldn't stop a derailed good train. I half expected to see a concrete wall here.

I remember the first time I went on a Tangara in 88. They seemed so modern compared to the red rattlers that were still running at the time
