Great cab view. It’s nice to see these out on the gold line again after 11 years. I do wonder when they’ll get their announcements programmed especially since the p2550s already have the blue line announcements.
Amazing video! It's so reminiscent to the 2003 Metro Gold Line (L Line) cab ride video filmed by Salaam Allah and uploaded on CZcams by Antonio Labanex Edward. It's just a shame that the Siemens P2000's back on the L Line don't have the automated station announcements on the L Line programmed yet. Hopefully the P2000's serving the A (Blue) and L (Gold) lines finally get their automated station announcements updated and programmed for the future A Line (soon taking over the "North" L Line branch) after Regional Connector opening once they get rehabbed at the Alstom facility in Vallejo.
Notice the station signs at a majority of the older L Line stations being refurbished into the modern black look in preparation for the Regional Connector opening. At 29:00, 29:30, 32:10, 32:45, 35:35 you will notice these refurbished signs.
UPDATE: The Siemens P2000's didn't show much time on the former L Line (Gold) "North" branch (now part of the A Line (Blue)) in revenue service. Shortly before the Regional Connector's opening, LA Metro stopped running all P2000's on the A and L (North) lines for refurbishment at Alstom in Vallejo. Now all P2000 units that ran the A, E (Expo), and L lines are being assigned to the C Line (Green) after refurbishment. LA Metro might just "imprison" all P2000's to the C Line once all units are rehabbed and ready to roll in revenue service.
@@flattrain5834 But Siemens P2000 cars 229, 230, 232, 235, 236, 237, 241, 247, 301, and 302 are also running the C Line (Green). Hopefully it's temporary. Hopefully once all P2000's are done with refurbishment, the C Line can go back to P2000 cars 201-228 and the A Line (Blue) gets P2000 cars 229-250 along with 301 and 302.
Supposed to switch so that one operator just goes between Azusa and Duarte, but due to a train right behind the northbound one, this operator continued to union
If you want to be a operator for LA Metro Rail Operator, you must meet the requirements: 1. You are required to be a bus operator first, LA Metro doesn't hire light rail operators right away. I don't know the rest of applying on how to become a train operator. 2. To become a bus driver, you are required to get a Commercial Driver's License, applying for a non-commercial driver's license won't make you eligible.
I’m glad that P2000s returned to the gold line. If only the P865/P2020 were still around, we would’ve seen them on the gold line
There is still 1 LRV P-2020 in the K line yard, so there is hope one day.
@@locomotive442 Western Railway Museum already take the P2020 164
Great Cab View! What a cool operator :D
Very lucky
Great cab view from Azusa to union station

The rehabs have the 3010 announcement system
The green light at the bottom reminds me of the acceleration/power light the TTC H-series subway trains in Toronto, Canada have.
Nice cab view. The operator seems cool.
There's nothing better than to be on a trip with you! Thank you for your journeys! : )

Nice Pov, always enjoy when you can actually see the driver use the controls!

I did notice that in Azusa downtown station. The gold bullet dots are gone. I remember seeing them a few months ago.
why would they remove the dots? are they going to put letters instead or just leave it blank?
@@huzailhassan4021 the gold bullets dots are gone. So my guesss they going to put blue bullet dots with a letter A .
Nice video
I love train metro rides
It looks faster than the 3010😂

Fantastic video Nick

C cars are 201-29 and the rest are for A

Is this one refurbished?
As of Friday June 16th 2023 This will No Longer be the Gold Line
What happened at Duarte?
Supposed to switch so that one operator just goes between Azusa and Duarte, but due to a train right behind the northbound one, this operator continued to union
@@flattrain5834 Oh, I thought someone was getting called out for trespassing
Can you show your wig wag?
Dude ought to at least get on the microphone and tell them to turn the music volume down.
