CityRail - 8-car Tangara T & G Sets passing Through Toongabbie, Pendle Hill and Wentworthville

I was sitting on the Leading Tangara (G Set) while it was passing through the stations since they are not busy on off-peak times, some Western and all Richmond Branch and Cumberland Line Trains stop at these stations, but when it comes to peak hour, the stops are popular due to patronage in the areas at night time.

the carriage is was sitting on was ONL5861, on G26 i think.

Also Pendle Hill Station was used as the testing grounds for the C Sets, during the SRA years, on Platform 4, which back at 1986 was an eyesore to the locals living there cause it was going back and forth, and the prototype looked like the K Sets, cause there was no fibreglss on the front.

Wentworthville was the home of the Tangaras first major accident, where the 8 car train derailed, which D6127 which got destroyed on impact on Platform 4) and N5127 (which got condemmed a few months later in Dunheved Railway Station Sidings by vandals, along with C3866)

the video ends as i nearly arrive at Westmead.
