    Found the video I was after, had to wait until I was on desktop, this will enable you to do a live edit to remove that 1:30 section of video after title that didn't get included. How to REMOVE MISTAKES from a published KZread video kzread.info/dash/bejne/gY2jlJaqkpbdXdY.html Been ages since I have used the live edit function and last time it worked, at least it did on unlisted videos. Should still work hopefully as its an easy fix to a simple editing mistake, happens to anyone who has ever uploaded. At least you didn't forget to include the sound like someone did on a 1.5hr video lecture and he didn't notice it until 2 weeks since it was a scheduled release :)

    They are beginning CCN modifications on 11 stations, will receive new car markers 10/8/6/4 and moved balises in preparation to comply with the new operating model. This is to take place first weekend of August. It would seem that CCN will be the first line to get them as the April/May reports from Tfnsw indicate the process to convert/upgrade for NIF operations will take from Mid 2024 to 2026. This gels with some reports that SCO will get them in 2025. Hopefully that isn't the case though

    @@Perpetual-sk2ee yes from what I’ve heard the order will be CCN, BMT then SCO. Also why CCN and BMT get almost daily testing, whilst the SCO only gets one run a day or a couple throughout the week. Mostly 6 car sets have been testing the SCO (in the night runs), whilst 10 car sets go on the CCN and BMT

    @@SydneyTrainspotter One interesting thing noted in the trackwork documents has been the inclusion of references to 8 car NIFs, they will have their own dedicated marker and presumably balises for ASDO (Automatic Selective Door Operation). Plus we do know they can run and have run in 8 car configs. SCO has had some night 10 cars testing which should have been increased by now. Maybe now TfNsw being in charge of intercity might help them co-ordinate the testing more effectively than Trainlink.

    some services might not be an express service because they have stopping patterns along the route & eventually just stop at most stations. because some services, it's all stops & limited stops. which are trains that run on timetables that tells them which services is a all stops/limited stops & express. these lines are services by Sydney trains. & trainlink nsw. but they don't stop much because they have some express service running through there as some stations are not part of their stopping patterns on their service. because you will see them run past. so some trains are very different. they will stop & some express don't.
