00:00No, no, no, no, no, no, no...
00:03Hooray!
00:05The next train to arrive on Platform 1 goes to Central.
00:10Okay, this is it the last one 55 years after the first
00:15trip through the Blue Mountains.
00:16The VSAT will retire today.
00:20I feel emotional about it.
00:25I feel sad.
00:26You look like you've dressed up.
00:28For the train, just glad to be a part of here.
00:30History.
00:31Rest in peace.
00:32My Rat Levy said love.
00:35It is the end of an era.
00:36We woke up at 1 in the morning.
00:38I woke up at like 3am for the day.
00:40There is stacks of people.
00:42This is a part of history.
00:43It's never going to happen again.
00:45It's just really sad to see them go.
00:47It's been a long time coming, in all honesty.
00:49I will say...
00:50I am not going to miss the bike racks.
00:51How long have you loved trains?
00:53Ever since I was three, I think.
00:55These are possibly one of the better designed, double deck,
00:58regional trains in the world.
01:00Even on their last day, they still hold up.
01:02Admittedly, they show their age.
01:03The toilets are not that great.
01:05Especially on the last trip.
01:06I just love the V6.
01:07So where do you live?
01:08I think.
01:09From Newcastle.
01:10I've met more people from outside the Blue Mountains this morning on the train
01:15and then from my own community.
01:17The rattle and the shake, the battle of the mountains kind of feeling.
01:20I always miss that.
01:21I don't think the marigolds are that bad.
01:23You've been practicing, haven't you?
01:25A little.
