You have done an excellent job in your presentation and explanation. Everything you have said is correct. Where in the past a yellow sign was sufficient, it became necessary to better regulate the speeds of various categories of trains to match the braking and acceleration properties. Hence the introduction of the three signs.
Pretty well done. The only point to make is that 4GT EMU's can only travel up to 115Km/H due to their drivers not having been assessed for driving at above that speed. The Railway wanted to raise their speed to 130 Km/h but were defeated on industrial grounds. I know that the TOC manual and NSG604 says that they can but in reality they are to adhere to the blue boards if displayed or to the MU white boards up to 115 Km/h. Other than that it was very good.
I was wondering about that. I note that the metro area only has one small section on the East Hills line that is over 115km/h now, but no electric trains go the full 125 over that section. I've been on an Oscar between Gosford and Wyong that went 130 km/h.
Excellent explanation and here in the United States we have track class which dictate the speeds of the train link is here www.jgmes.com/webstart/library/table_fra_track.htm the maximum is 330 kilometers per hour 205 mph and minimum speed is 16 kilometers per hour is 10 miles per hour for freight trains but 25 kilometers per hour 15 miles per hour passenger trains. I'm not sure if there is a minimum speed limit for trains in New South Wales my guess it's 20 kilometers per hour or about 10 miles per hour.

I was always curious what the signs are with the designated X in them, thank you so much.
Brilliant video explanation! I have always wondered what the different signs have meant when traveling around Sydney and NSW on trains.
Excellent report and explanation
pls make one of the signalling :) thanks
Thank you for this summation. Dear lord what a complicated system! If you get a chance to do the Queensland speed system, that would be awesome
What is the difference between the ones with the triangle and the ones without?
No difference except the indicated "X" on the signs would mean that there is a speed change at a junction
@@Voyagerthe2nd thanks!
Are those 2car hunter rail car following yellow plate only?
nice
Noice explanation
Can older Heritage DMU trains follow the white boards? eg. CPH Railmotors and 620 Sets?
What is 3GPG?
