Good news! The Sydney people are crazy with joy! It`s this Friday night!
The worst S-set "steaming train" in Sydney history! finally! Officially retired!
The Daily Telegraph:Sydney`s iconic ssettrain retired this week.
Congratulations! The worst "steaming train" in history!
S-set train, which has been in service for 47 years, is jokingly referred to by passengers as "sweat train" because of its lack of air conditioning. At 00:02 this Friday night, it left its last train from the Olympic Park to the end of its train career. Sydney people, who had been resentful for a long time, jumped out to express their excitement.
Goodbye, S-set train! The worst shit in Sydney history, train!
Netizen: although I am very grateful for its efforts over the years, but. These train are really cursed in the Sydney bus system! I`m glad they`re back in hell where they belong!
Netizens: sitting on this train in summer, you will really see some Russians pour water on hot rocks and hit themselves with sticks.
Looking at the emotional situation of netizens, people who do not understand may also wonder, why is this train so annoying?
In fact, S-set train was once one of the most advanced train since it was put into use in the 1970s!
It serves Sydney`s routes, but the lack of air conditioning injuries is constantly criticized.
In recent years, it has travelled to T2 Nexi and Leppington lines, T3 Bankstown lines, T6 Carlingford lines, T7 Olympic Park lines and T8 airports and south lines.
Friends who live in the southwest should all have deep feelings.
Like many old-fashioned train, it is made up of main iron sheets, not only wind-proof, but also very endothermic!
The spring and autumn is fine. In the summer and winter season, the summer, the cold winds hit the cold wind, the rain and ice, and every time they meet the extreme weather, plus the public transport paralysis of Sydney,
Commuting to and from work has become a big test of life and death!
Even S-set train`s flight attendants can`t help complaining that the train is not only air-conditioned, but also particularly slow to react, waiting a long time to open and close the door, and the car is too small to hold people as much as any other train. So many Sydney people voted jointly to abolish the humiliating train in Sydney.
However, in fact, the train, which has been abandoned by many people, has been several in and out in the nearly 50 years, is continuously revoked and put back into use, because of no one, too many people!
In recent years, the use time of trains has been much longer than planned by government because of the need for additional trains to meet the increase in passenger capacity. Number of trips per year over the past five years
From 300 million to 420 million, in the face of such a great traffic pressure, and looking back at the speed of traffic construction in Turkey and Australia, government has no choice but to take out the long overdue "sweat steam train" over and over again.
And now S-set train is finally dead! Sitting on train in Sydney can finally guarantee 100% air conditioning!
The urban legend of sitting on a train across the Sahara desert is finally over!
In fact, although the speed is slow, the continuous progress and development of Sydney public transport is also obvious to all!
Praise! Sydney public transport is improving!
More advanced train
Friends living in Sydney must prefer this more advanced Waratah B train than "steaming train"!
Spacious and bright carriages, orderly seats, and more importantly, there are! Empty! Tune!
In fact, the Waratah B train is constantly replacing Sydney`s old train.
In response to Sydney`s rising demand for public transport, the new state government spent A $900m, adding 17 more Waratah train lines to China and is expected to officially launch it into Sydney`s urban areas in August 2020!
Driverless subway
Last month, the driverless subway in northwest Sydney was put into operation! This project, which has invested 8.3 billion of the money,
It is the first driverless, fully automatic subway in Australia, with wider coverage and faster speed! Eight additional platforms have been added and five upgraded. The first phase of the subway from Tallawong Station to Chatswood Station, will cover 13 platforms.
Faster! Every four minutes a subway, an hour 15 vehicles run at the same time. Which means, you can get on the bus at any time,
You don`t need to see the schedule anymore!
The most expensive light rail in history
The Sydney Light Rail, which has been controversial since October 2015, is also expected to complete its first paragraph in December.
The rail near the UNSW campus was repaired in March 2020.
And this week! The light rail test reached another milestone when a new car ran from Alison Rd in Randwick to City Hall!
This is the first time in 60 years that trams are driving on George Street in Sydney`s central business district!
It seems that the promise of opening the light rail this time is true!
Deep-sea underground tunnel
People who walk through CBD every day may not know that earth-shaking changes are taking place under their feet. About 25 meters below Hunter st and Elizabeth st in the central business district, two huge caves are being dug up to connect to Sydney`s A $10 billion subway track!
By 2024, the project will deliver tens of thousands of passengers per hour on an unmanned single-layer train. The central station, the Pitt st in the vicinity of the city hall and the other three subway stations in the Barrangaro are also in a similar construction. The first tunnel from Barrangaro to McMahons Point is expected to take up to three months to dig up to 40 meters below the harbor!
The heavily funded tunnel can effectively relieve the pressure on existing rail lines and roads in CBD and elsewhere. The second phase of the subway line from Chatswood to CBD, to Sydenham in the south and Bankstown in the west will be completed in 2024 at a cost of up to A $12.5 billion!
Stop saying that Sydney has no subway only train! five years later, it is no longer a dream to cross Sydney Port by subway!
The retirement of "steaming train" announces the formal elimination of Sydney`s old train, and it is also a good beginning for the more and more perfect development of Sydney public transport!
I`m so happy to be running! This cheers the people greatly! Have friends ever been stuck in a "steaming train" in the past? Take advantage of your last chance to complain!
