TBM's changing the world we live in

7:08 - I was almost expecting Tom Baker's face to appear. I'm sure most people over a certain age will understand what I'm talking about.

~Hi. Excellent! Who doesn't put it on 2 x speed? They even thought of mostly staggering the lights to prevent strobing...great!

can't wait for this to open in August. Im shopping for a folding bike and can bike to work getting off at waterloo.

The dwell times are only 10 seconds here, but I believe they are normally closer to 30 seconds. So it's 15 stops X 20 seconds...or about 5 minutes longer. So 44 min to barangaroo I'm guessing.

Insane that the tallawong to sydenham time is how long it takes me from Hills Showground to Central

@@rileygatt2224 I noted that and that the opening / closure of the doors, which can be heard, is approx 8-10 seconds. This approximates the timing of the tried and proven Paris Metro and others. Given the four minutes frequency there will be no cause to delay. Also note that the loading and unloading process is controlled by the corralling gates which has also been part of the Paris system for a long time.

Otherwise why bother it a metro would save 5 mins at best using the old route. And plus you can't because freight is using Cabramatta to Liverpool the Yennora freight yard has to use cityrail tracks.

I can’t wait for Metro West to be completed. However it’s a shame that the line won’t intersect with the Tallawong to Bankstown line in the city to form a hub like with other metro systems such as those in Paris and Milan.

It will indeed. Hunter street station on the metro west will have a direct underground link to Martin place station here and also Wynyard as well. When it opens the Martin place - Hunter street - Wynyard precinct will form a mega underground interchange.

@@timtam53191Sorta like how in London, Bank and Monument stations are considered separate stations, but they’re basically treated as one mega complex I think one of the other reasons why they haven’t decided on a direct interchange with an existing station is simply because there isn’t either the land and/or they don’t want to overcrowd the existing stations since for example Town Hall is already overused

The ECRL was meant to be above ground but people complained that it would go through lane cove national park and because of the gradient required for the tunnel for double deckers they could no longer build a station there and the route was longer (that's why the tunnel is curved between north Ryde and Chatswood rather than a more straight path) They binned it because that's what the people (the ones with the loudest voices) wanted.
