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

Done a Absolutely beautiful job with the restoration of each carriages interior 👌

I want to live in Melbourne in the Future Because the House Prices are going Down and i can own a House or Apartment Next to Caulfield Station so i can take the Pakenham Line to East Pakenham. The Pakenham Line is Extended to East Pakenham. But It was meant to be the East Pakenham Line Because in Melbourne, The Line get their Names after there Terminus

Should we remove the T2 Branch to Parramatta? The T2 is Causing a Bottleneck and Merged with T5.

What a cool vlog Paul Your super interesting

10,000 People. That is Amazing. 10,000 People can fit on 5 Waratah Trains that Hold 2,150 People. And 10,000 People Equals to 10 Alstom Metropolis Sets that can Hold 1,100 People

No ground floor retail space?

How does the Melbourne Parliament station southern escalators compare in length?

The Metro Can Travel 1,100 People, But it is still Problematic. The Waratahs, Sydneys New Subruban Train Can Travel 2,150 People More than the Metro. All other Trains in Sydney can carry over 2000 people when coupled to 8 Car Sets and 4 Car Sets Can Carry 1,500 People. Double Decker Trains in Sydney Can Carry over 2000 but the Metro Can Travel 1100 People

I have Arrived at School and i was a bit concerned that the Bus Stop Named Epping Road and Crimea Road Stop got Knocked Down to built a New Shelter. The Fence was covering it and the Only Way to Get through was to Dangerously get on the Road and Back on the Footpath then to Gate 3 at Epping Boys High School.
