The Indian Pacific Train Departing Sydney Central Station
Channel: Transport Vlog
Date: 2022-05-27

In this video, I film the departure of the Indian Pacific Train as it left Sydney Central Station on Wednesday 4th May 2022

My filming location is a basket ball practice area on the west side of Prince Alfred Park, where I had an excellent view of the tracks approaching Sydney's Central Station.

The Indian Pacific was being propelled by an NR class and G class locomotive.

I'll explain some of the different carriage types including restaurant cars, lounge cars, gold service cars and the super posh platinum service cars. 

You'll also see a variety of other trains too, including Waratahs, and a Millennium, Tangara and V set.

The Indian Pacific is operated by Journeys Beyond Rail and you can find more details via this link. - https://www.journeybeyondrail.com.au/indian-pacific/

COVID-19
Most of my videos are recorded several weeks before being edited and uploaded. I always follow the government COVID-19 advice and requirements that applied on the day of filming. This is why you sometimes see me wearing a mask and at other times you don't.  If you're watching this video during a Sydney lockdown, then please note that it was filmed at a time prior to these restrictions coming into effect.

Accuracy
I do my best to make the commentary in these videos as accurate as possible by checking facts on the internet and other sources. However, sometimes the information isn't available, so I'll use my railway knowledge and insight to explain something to the best of my ability. If accuracy is important, do check the comments, as other viewers will often pick up on things I've missed or any mistakes made. Also note that for older videos, things may change over time, causing some of the information to become out of date.

Construction Sites, Maintenance Facilities and other Private Property
All footage of construction sites, maintenance facilities and other private property is taken from a public vantage point. The only exception is if it's an open day or I have special permission to access the site. The iPhone's small lens and zoom function makes it easier to film through small gaps in hoardings or fencing, so it may look like I'm on site when I'm not! If you would like to know the exact filming location, then ask me in the comments.
