Sydney Harbour Bridge - New Year Trackwork Makeover! - Sydney Trains

Between 1st and 10th January 2021, the North Shore Line was closed between North Sydney and Wynyard to enable a major replacement of some the railway tracks on the Sydney Harbour Bridge. In this video, I'll show you how the tracks looked before the work on the Sydney Harbour Bridge took place. I will then show you some footage from a bus whilst the trackwork was in progress. This includes 2 class 81 locomotives. You'll see the huge number of buses required to transport passengers between North Sydney and Wynyard during this time. I'll reveal the weird train movements required to allow T1 services to terminate at North Sydney. Then I'll finish up with footage of the completed trackwork on the Sydney Harbour Bridge.

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 Also note that for older videos, things may change over time, causing some of the information to become out of date.
