What I really think about is that the experience was...AMAZING, the seat was comfy even though it looked like were riding on a future train

I did unblank most of the pages, so thank me for doing it, but OFC if there's some I missed, put them down in the comments.

Thanks mate!

G'day! I'm a new user for the wiki? Though, I've been exploring the wiki for some time now.

And yes, ignore my username, and just say V set, which is my main username on most platforms.

So I have been wondering that some bloke decided to blank ALL the pages, and some are still blanked, so I may try my best to recover all the pages by just undoing what that bloke did.

Or if you say you're already doing it, that's good!

I noticed that Armidale Railway station has no page on this wiki.....

Armidale station does need a page on this wiki, I think

I would do it myself but I'm not quite sure how and I also know nothing about armidale station, so if someone who does have the knowledge about Armidale station and who is also familiar with the layout of these pages could make the Armidale station page please, that would be good..... :)

I have asked a few admins and the bureaucrat for an adminship as I love trains and am an active member of this wiki. But apparently admins can't give admin rights, and the bureaucrat is not responding (to be fair, it's only been a day or two, but I am this desperate. The bureaucrat also has not been active since last year so it doesn't seem likely he'll be responding).

How can i become an admin, as it is currently my only goal in life (yes I have no life)

(jk i do have other goals in life, but still)

Sorry for forgetting about this wiki and moving on with my life. I will try to expand this wiki as i usually did like last time

Btw trains (especially the nsw trainlink ones) give me so much nostalgia for some reason

Please do not add any irrelevant things in this wiki. I have seen articles like that and have deleted them. If you want to add it, add it in another wiki relating to that or create your own. Thank You.

Since me and Edgar do most of the editing work here, I wonder if we should change. Since this fandom is fully dedicated to NSW Trains, how about we make it into NSW Transport? I mean, more articles made = more editing = more activity = more productivity = our fandom we all know and love won't be deleted. I know it will break our fingers more, but at least we will have over 50,000 articles if we change. If we have that much compared to our 700, we could stay here for a longer period of time. By the way, should we make our own Discord? I think it'll be a very good idea. Plus, I know a good community we can collab with!

Who's with me? :D

A Minns Labor Government will build new trains right here in New South Wales and will begin the procurement process for the next set of trains to replace the ageing Tangara fleet in its first term.

It will also be the beginning of a long-term pipeline of manufacturing work and form the basis for the return of a sustainable rail manufacturing industry in New South Wales which will continue after the replacement of the Tangara fleet.The Tangaras have already had their service extended by ten years beyond their design life and will reach their final end of service life by 2027.

Since the K Sets are planned to be retired soon by December 2022, when NIFs deliver the Mariyung D Set trains and when the Oscar H Set trains be moved to suburban duties.

But still, we can't forget about the K sets.

It has helped shaped our train systems as of today to what it has become. I would like to say a goodbye to the K Sets before December happens (I will make another post for the final goodbye).

It is also said that the V Set trains will also be removed by 2024.

It has helped lots of people to travel outside of Sydney from the Blue Mountains and the Central Coast and Newcastle Lines (I will make another goodbye in 2024 when they're gone).

Goodbye K and V Sets, you will soon join the C and S Sets, back to your old relatives you go.

Forever you will be missed.

Hello everyone. I found out the sandbox page. If you would like to make test edits, use the sandbox or create your own instead of vandalising articles.

Hi all,

Since the tragic "accident" of my bitch of a wife being run over by a train, I have been somewhat lost. This is why I ALWAYS turn to the maps of the NSW train lines to help me find my way. Since the passing, I have confided in visiting as many stations as I can. So far I have visited 41% of all the train stations in all of NSW. I apologise to all of those that see that as rookie numbers but I only began 2 months ago. I hope to one day bring this number up to above the 75% mark. it will be done. I look forward to the rest of my life, the doctor says I am only looking at 2 more years due to my high cholesterol but I have found peace with that. I can live knowing I have 2 years without my stupid, bitch of a wife. Thank you all for taking a peak at what I have to say. no one listens to me anymore. not even my freeloading asshole son. where did I go wrong? anyway I've been making heaps of NSW train lego.

Truly, from my heart

According to the document provided, Bombardier Transportation had supplied a line in Sydney (don't know exactly what it was, but it certainly says so) with CITYFLO 250 Light Rail Transit (LRT) signalling with on-board Automatic Train Protection (ATP). Seeing its description, I would've thought they had supplied it to the Light Rail. Here it is: https://rail.bombardier.com/content/dam/transportation/products/mass-transit-signalling/BT_PDF_Mass-transit%20signalling.pdf

I believe that what we really need for the L1 Dulwich Hill line is 16 5-module Bombardier FLEXITY Freedom trams like those on the ION rapid transit system (Kitchener-Waterloo, Ontario, Canada)^ built by Alstom* in Dandenong, Melbourne, who I believe should also supply CITYFLO 250 LRT signalling with on-board ATP. Photo below is the ION version, hence the blue livery.

*The Transportation division of Bombardier merged with Alstom in January 2021, and before then the Alstom plant at Dandenong used to be a Bombardier plant. Going forward, Alstom is now responsible for construction and delivery of future FLEXITY trams and scope of all Bombardier Transportation (BT) technologies.

^Slightly modified configurations of the ION version will be used on the Line 5 Eglinton in Toronto, Ontario, Canada (5-module configuration like ION but with only 1 cab; usually they couple 2 trams together) and on the LRT Valley Line in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada (with 2 cabs like ION but in 7-module configuration).

I would like Sydney Metro Western Sydney Airport to use 4-car Bombardier MOVIA trains instead of 6- to 8-car Alstom Metropolis trains, and electrify from bottom-contact type third rail (750V DC), NOT from overhead wires (1.5kV DC). Advantages of third rail include:

• The cost of a third rail is lower than that of overhead wires, and it is less affected by natural disasters.

• The third rail is more suitable for installation in tunnels with smaller clearance than overhead wires.

• The subway third rail does not need to be erected under tension and is not prone to breakage accidents. Even in the event of a failure, the scope is smaller and the reliability is higher, thus reducing the maintenance workload.

• The installation position of the third rail is relatively low, there are no obvious tall parts, the urban landscape is good, and it is easier to take protective measures against electromagnetic pollution.

• The preferred voltage of a third rail is half of that of the overhead wires.

I know the CBD and South East LRT also uses third rail between Circular Quay and Town Hall, but it's not using a conventional third rail; it's using Alstom's APS which unlike conventional third rails don't pose any danger to people or animals. However, for subways it's much easier to use a third rail for electrification.
