Metro Vs Sydney Trains, Arrive the same time? Central to North Sydney
Переглядів 3,3 тис.День тому
Today I decided to see how much faster Sydney Metro was then Sydney trains, So I got on the older legacy double-decker train at (Central) to (North Sydney) via the Sydney harbour Bridge, then returned using the Metro from (Victoria Cross North Sydney) to (Central) via the under water tunnel. Just to clarify time differences, Sydney trains sometimes tend to sit at north Sydney for a couple min...

The link to the music video doesn't work... Hey, nice vid, Luna Park is always a blast! Maube for your next vid, go and check out the Purikura Photoland arcade in Capitol Square. You'll love it there!
You could have taken the Greenwood Plaza underground shopping mall walkway and not have had to wait to cross at the lights at Victoria Cross. Great video. Thanks 🙏
I’m not 100% but I think that was closed also on a weekend
@@TallBoyGareth1The original plan was to demolish the MLC building. And then I think they would have extended that underground walkway all the way to Victoria Cross Metro from the North Sydney Train Station. But then they back flipped on that as the MLC building had a heritage order placed on it during the Metro construction. So the Greenwood Plaza underground walkway pops out at the same place still on Mount St near the MLC building right near where you filmed the circular fountains.
24:05 Truth!
Let’s live life to the fullest 🫡
TBG, you are fantastic. This has been so informative and we have learnt a lot👏👏👏
I have a few more videos already up on the Sydney Metro if you’re interested 😎✌🏻

Back in 2002 was coming back from manly to Circular Quay it was extremely rough waters .
Those smaller ferries are quicker though! I don't think the other one would have been able to even catch up to Pacific Adventure.
Loving the pet hair!
😸😻😸
Was this shot on a newer iPhone? I'm thinking with your footage you need to set adjust the 'colour space' to stop the overblown footage. I was up against this problem two years ago and unfortunately some editing programs struggle to understand the correct color space required to render a video correctly. The problem is related to what's known as HDR video. The magic about the exact same times can be seen on trip planners, yeah mind blowing
iPhone 15 yeah, the HDR definitely makes the footage look bright
@@TallBoyGareth1 It's a very common problem, and on sunny days the footage can be totally blown apart. Sadly it seems many editing platforms can't set the right colour settings to adjust the HDR video. And understanding the correct manual settings to adjust the footage isn't as simple as it should be.
Metro will get quicker once the dwell time drops to 30 seconds from the current 90 seconds.
The train doors are being kept open for 60-90 seconds now, but would be gradually decreased to 30-45 seconds.
Sydney Metro are keeping the doors open longer initially to allow UA-camrs to get out at every stop to record a piece to camera!
Guilty 😁
I was on this train too! I can be seen a few times in this video (I am the person with the brown jacket with a white collar and the cyan single-use mask). The trip was excellent and it was wonderful to be with so many rail enthusiasts. I can also confirm that you are very tall.
Why didnt you compare Chatswood to Central that way same beginning and end points for both?
Maybe I will 😉
Metro every 4 mins in peak time, you do not need to look at timetable, you need to take this fact into account,.
ST between NS and Central is about one every 3 minutes in peak hour.
My dad used to live in North Sydney.
Nice work, but I think a stopwatch would have made it easier.
You’re absolutely right 😁
Australia the best ! 👍
It is good to see that the signage at Victoria Cross still uses the Australian word "Lifts" and not the American word "Elevators". Covent Gardens tube station in London uses double sided lifts very effectively.
Virtually every country in the world says "elevator" except for the rare ones where British English is spoken like Australia
@oufukubinta I've only travelled through 26 different (non British Commonwealth) countries, and when they translate their own language, they all use the English word "lift." US English is just a local variation of English.
This is the most favourable comparison scenario for the old trains. One of the main advantages of the metro is opening up journeys that were a lot more difficult before. I work in Martin Place, and met a friend last week in Crows Nest for lunch. I would never have been able to do that in decent time before. The big winners are people going from bus to Metro.
An interesting comparison and thank you for showing it. I do wonder how the Metro will fare with peak hour crowds when they reduce the dwell times though. Peak hour commuters tend to be pretty single minded that they must board THIS train. Correspondingly, I wonder if the transferring of passenger numbers from ST to Metro will reduce dwell times on the existing City Underground. I think the only really fair comparison may be how both operate during the peak hour.
That’s true but Metro just has so many more doors and is so much better at getting people packed in and moving through the train, metro can also run trains more often if needed to respond to spikes in demand.
Do you own a cat by chance?
I was hoping no one would notice 😂 yes I have a few
If he checked the timetable, he'd have the exact answer without the palaver.
But you wouldn’t get to see my beautiful face for 13 minutes would you?
Also. What I don’t understand. Why is barrangaroo in the middle of nowhere? A very long walk to ferries and even Wynyard station.
There's more buildings to be constructed between it and the existing high rises. You might have noticed the false wall near the Barangaroo pay gates. It's where the second entrance will open to connect the station with them. BTW, IMHO, it's not really 'nowhere' on the other side. The restoration of the headland. making it into a really great park, and commemorating Barangaroo the person, is the area's best feature, and far nicer than the sterile high rise end.
@@tacitdionysus3220 yeah and that park will become more and more popular especially as more variety of food and activities move in at Barangaroo over the years it will become a fine station. It needs to have the old gasworks bridge rebuilt in a heritage style to give you fast access up to High Street and Kent Street from the metro station.
The technical reason (as spoken about by one of the Sydney Metro dudes at the city extension opening) is that the line has to weave its way between other tunnels and basements in the city and get low enough to start the descent under the harbour. Apparently they would have preferred to have it closer to the ferries, but where it is the closet position the engineering allowed. Watch any of the numerous cab ride clips and you will notice how it turns hard one way then the other at a lower speed than normal between Barangaroo and Martin Place.
@@tacitdionysus3220 yeah they were looking at a few options originally, they were either going to stay on the west side of the city from Barangaroo southwards down Sussex street, or go straight from Victoria X to a station near Circular Quay then Martin Place and Gadigal. In the end though they did a hybrid of the Barangaroo and Martin Place option. I don’t know what this means if they ever want to build a Northern Beaches Metro Tunnel, hopefully there is an alignment still available but they might have to reuse the Harbour bridge which was designed for 4 tracks but currently only has 2.
@@tacitdionysus3220 it’s just not a very practical place for it 🤷🏼♂️. I half expected it to be right under Wynyard or a stones throw. Not in the middle of nowhere 🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️
The tree looks like a curtin fig tree. A parasitic llant
Really? Sort of symbolic of North Shore culture. LOL
@@tacitdionysus3220 🤣🤣🤣
Well done. I'm in Newcastle and plan to give it a try in a weeks time.
Thats bad at the other end! Its not snakes you have to worry about nor faceplanting into a spider web. Its the Funnel Webs. The Blue Mountains has the tree dwelling species that can drop you from above(no joke). That light switch assembly and sesnor light hints at very recent activity in that tunnel. And I am also to see that old Lister still sitting there. It would've been a generator plant, most probably from the WWII by the design of the generator casing you looked at. Glad to know that work has been done on the tunnel though since your visit. It appears it will be 2025 before its open. Its likely most if not all of the 2.7 million given has been eaten in surveys and all that stuff. The council mentioned receiving two grants for further work. They still need to improve drainage and install lighting, amongst other stuff. Blue Mountains City Council must also work with Crown Lands NSW about plans for future use of the site. Knowing Australia, it will probably be 2027/28 at least before it actually opens.
I agree the old stations only look bad and dated when compared to the new ones, I actually was really impressed with the stations when I visited in March. Can’t wait to go back to ride the metro
I've watched a couple of clips of the new line, all very interesting. But none captured the happy onboard atmosphere as you did in your clip.
My mission is complete 🫡👏🏻
9:07 Always love the whole Martin Place vibe (not the station, but the whole above ground area). It is an easy ride 1 train for me from Rockdale to Martin Place. I love to sit down and watch the city passing by in the afternoon sunset.
But 20:00 looks like it’s gonna be my new spot 😅
Chatswood is actually a rebuilt station just like St Leonards as part of the ECRL in 2008
After Victoria Cross is opened.. North Sydney Station is dead.. 😂 I mean, it has significantly reduced.
18:24 I believe there will be another entrance behind the wall when further development is built above ground
Great video, I look forward to seeing this myself. I bet these new trains will come in handy during crowded events like NYE and Vivid
How tall are you?
6:11 With the air pressure, there is a large volume of air in front of the train as well and when the air gets pushed is when you can hear the air coming through the doors
Town Hall station is a lot older than that - over 90 years, part of the last great project (set of projects!) to build Sydney, which was the City Circle and Harbour Bridge. Have you actually seen demand from the Northern Beaches though? There must be 4 or 5 other lines where the locals are begging for rail and deserve it first. Lanes 1 and 2 of the Harbour Bridge were originally intended for the Northern Beaches. But even JJ Bradfield couldn’t get them there. And that’s a man who knew how to get things done.
The northern Beaches is the biggest most populated “un Trained” area in Sydney. It needs to happen A.S.A.P.
Your my new hero, hiking in thongs is the best. I always end my videos with, " Always hike in thongs".
😎 Aussie Aussie Aussie, oi oi oi 🇦🇺
I totally forgot about the Maccas on the corner 😮
21:45 That’s me! Thank you so much for coming to the very first service, and I’m glad you enjoyed it!
The other Metro line will probably go through Gadigal station then go under Darling Harbour to Pyrmont Metro station my guess is the other Gadigal platforms have already been competed
It’s a bumpy ride but so like a roller coaster it’s fun know I got video yo on my channel and more to come
Can’t wait to ride this train next time I’m in Sydney
Where you were looking at the other platforms 1 and 2 they are for the train to Armidale and the train to Moree. I am cumming down to Sydney September from Tamworth. When going to Armidale and Moree they are two separate trains when they get to werris creek the moree train uncuples from the back of the Armidale train . When cumming to Sydney from Tamworth the train from moree cuples on the front of the train from Armidale at werris creek.
Crazy how many people woke up early morning to catch the first train. The acceleration of these Metros are great.
Great video, history is finally made. I've enjoyed it like i was there, despite living in Milan, Italy
Thanks for the video. Kudos from Valencia, Spain. Yes, I love all kind of trains...
gracias for watching 🙏🏻 glad you liked it
Best atation: Probably Victoria Cross for style, and Martin Place for sheer scale.
is that the driveless ones?
yep
@@anthony501st I thought so
