11. #purpletrain in the mists, 22 November. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Sout

The Sydney Trains V-Set fleet is finally being retired. I have tons of photos of them, but this one really hits the mood.

A Sydney Trains V-Set InterCity train arrives at Wentworth Falls station. It's a double-deck train with fluted metal sides and yellow doors. The blunt nose is yellow too, with a dark orange section above the driver's cab. The train is emerging from the mist and the platform is wet with rain.

I have just learned that the last V-Set #purpletrain runs on the Central Coast and Newcastle line will be this Friday 27 June, per various gunzel sources. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Sout

This week we (finally!) pay a visit to a station on the Elizabeth Line, which is appropriate since today is the line’s 3rd birthday 🎂

One of the frustrating things about being at Sydney Central station late at night is seeing those gorgeous new Mariyung D-Set trains under test with no passengers while you board an old V-Set #purpletrain.

Geez, an Uber Eats rider just got on the mountains train. Looks like someone in Linden is getting some lukewarm Thai food from Springwood some time tonight.

I nip across town on the #PurpleTrain (not pictured) and end up at Paddington. I think, screw this, I’m going for an upgrade, and spin the wheel on #Seatfrog, which grabs me a first class upgrade for £34. It’s a special occasion, so yeah, let’s do it. I rinse the first class lounge of all its red wine, have a shower, and take a massive dump in their clean lavs, and then check on #RealTimeTrains. That shows the platform before it’s announced…12/n

A railway station platform. To the right is a dark green train, with “GWR” in tall silver letters.

London! #purpletrain

Right now Sydney's train system is enjoying* itself. Tree blocking the track at St Peters so that's out. A broken train at Sydney and delays due to track repairs at Penrith are blocking up Sydney Terminal.

This #purpletrain is stopped outside Redfern waiting for a platform at Central.

Most of the office have gone to the pub. Coming back to work part time, and with an obsessive, people pleasing brain, I’m determined to have stronger boundaries so I’m on a purple train for kicks, heading to Chatswood via Epping. #shitkansen #purpletrain #GloriousSydney

Fri plan, an update: I had foolishly imagined I’d be heading home to the Mountains earlier than this. Hah! So now I will have dinner in Sydney before taking the #purpletrain back up the hill. Meh. It’s Friday.

Turns out we’re running ½ hour late so that explains why it’s seemed unusually interminable to get off the flatlands. #purpletrain

I’m too tired and emotional to work effectively on the train home and OMG is a two-hour train ride boring when you don’t have actual productivity to do. #purpletrain

@u0421793 Not when that diagram was made it wasn’t. The H&C one is newer, (got it at the recent LTM Depot open day) and does show #purpletrain at #Whitechapel
I really want a #PiccadillyLine one, maybe they’ll be available when the 73 stock is withdrawn. 🤞
