Fan of public transport, walking, and interesting facts. I sometimes post photos I take or thoughts I have on transportation, election science, or other topics.
The intersection of Hill Road and Stromboli Strait close to this sign is planned to have traffic lights added as part of the construction of the Parramatta Light Rail Stage 2 line next to Hill Road, which will include a stop behind where this sign is now.

Sydney's Sydney Metro City & Southwest and Melbourne's Metro Tunnel have increased the number of tracks through the city from 6 to 8, and Brisbane's Cross River Rail will increase the number of tracks through the city from 4 to 6.

Australia's 3 largest cities all have recently built or are currently building new city-center rail tunnels to increase the capacity of the rail network, by redirecting some lines into the new tunnel and increasing the frequency of other lines which continue to use the existing tunnels.

The reason these trains start/stop at Central is because they use the tracks between Central and Strathfield mainly used by intercity trains, rather than the tracks that connect with the North Shore Line.

The other tunnel boring machine tunneling this section had already started tunneling west beyond the station. There has been a lot of progress since the previous open day, and the eastern part of the station box has reached its full depth.

This was also the reason for the gap between posts between May and August 2024, but I decided to return to posting because the Sydney Metro extension was about to open. After a few months I decided to return to not posting until I finished the video.

I visited this station and filmed this video in April 2024, and it took me a very long time to get around to writing and editing it. I have finally done it though, and now I aim to start releasing videos more frequently again.

It's used a few times a day when the frequency of the line is increasing or decreasing.

There are some other stations with errors in the platform layout, including Lidcombe, Parramatta, Lewisham, and Glenfield

This is really impressive! I like the way that platforms are shown.

I think the Eastern Suburbs Line should go there instead of this line. For this line to go to Maroubra it would have to have a sharp curve before or after Randwick.

It's interesting how some Sydney transit map designs fit in a portrait format, while others fit in a landscape format.
