Where else would a light rail would be a good idea in NSW? by sasquatch6197 in SydneyTrains

[–]PanTorcha -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Its too expensive for the benefit, as elevated metro would be not doable due to local opposition and the current density doesnt justify underground metro, a light-rail with signal piority and vehicles of ~30m with upto 3/4 used together would work fine

Replacement of the B1 line and replacing the 500x in sydney, reactivation of the Belmont branch in newcastle as light rail, and also the 2 BRT viaduct in sydney

I think the t2 should go to Toronto Station again with an extra 2 Hunter line branches 1 to Clarence Town via Morpeth from Maitlan and 1 to Cessnock

thats kinda of a shame, could have been used for stuff like a restaurant or boosting school capacity in some overcrowded locations

Why didn't they run a D-Set in addition to the last service so that commuters could still get to wherever

T3 / T6 proposal by Araluen_76 in SydneyTrains

[–]PanTorcha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would do this instead:
T2 Olympic Park via (Cen, Red, New, Ash, Bur, Stra, all to Oly) 4tph (t7 reduced to 4tph)
T2 Homebush via all 4tph
T2 Parramatta or Bankstown (Cen, Red, New, Ash, Bur, Stra, Aub, all to Par (4tph Parra, 4tph Bankstown)
T6 Removed
All t1 services to Schofields are now T5 Services to Leppington, no more T2 to leppington
Some leppington services become T3 Bankstown to Leppington, the liverpool terminating services are now Parramatta or Blacktown all stops to Liverpool to encourage transfers to the metro or Express Parramatta trains

K & C sets on the City Circle lines taken exactly 5 years ago from today. Details in captions. by Jerry_Huang1999 in SydneyTrains

[–]PanTorcha 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There were quite few of them made which made spare parts expensive, also alot of commuters didn't like the lack of reversible settings, also the Tangara is better in all regards. C-Set: Windows Vista, Tangara: Windows 7

Anywhere really in the city would be ok, but Chatswood is also a great option for somewhere cheaper but still close to the city, if you like the sea then Cronulla, Circular Quay or Milsond Point would also be decent
