Sydney Central is much less interesting (to me). There are lots of boring electric intercity sets, and the Xplorer/ Endeavour railcars are bland. XPTs are photogenic but just run in & out.
The beauty of Spencer St is that so many trains are locomotive-hauled and require shunting, there is such variety of diesel motive power, the Vlocity sets are pretty, the yard is wide open and the carriage sheds so close.
Great series of videos. Even though it's my home town, I'm surprised by how busy Southern Cross seems at this hour of the day.
Any chance of a similar series from Central in Sydney ?
RE 100th Vlocity carriage, I read somewhere the other day that the Vlocity is the most numerous DMU in Australia ever. Not bad considering how small (less than 20 2 car sets from memory) the original order was 10 years ago.
Thanks.
