00:01I live in Columbia.
00:02Oh, okay. And are you here specially to go on the chain?
00:05Yeah, going to Cronulla.
00:07You're going to Cronulla? What do you think of the new chain?
00:09I think they're awesome.
00:10You think they're going to be an improvement?
00:13Obviously, it's going to stick around for a while until we get the assets, new CAF units,
00:18when they come into service.
00:20But, you know, they'll always be special.
00:23I think we're just very used to the Endeavour fleet.
00:26Yeah.
00:27But if we got electrification down to a common area, these would be fantastic.
00:32And do you travel along the other ones, the Oscars?
00:35Yeah, I normally do.
00:36Yeah. And what do you think? How does it compare?
00:40These trains, I don't have reversible seats. That's the only con.
00:44And tell me, why are you interested in trains? Have you always been interested in trains?
00:48I have, yes. Funnily enough, it started out quite a while ago,
00:53and it was, I liked American trains, but then I did research and found out Sydney has a whole network.
01:01I dragged them into it.
01:02And then, yeah. And then, now I like these, and I plan to work with these one day.
01:08Okay. You want to be a train engineer or a train driver?
01:11Yep.
01:15Okay, this is your first trip on the new train. What do you think of it so far?
01:19Well, it's all very nice and new. I don't like sitting backwards. I'm sitting backwards here now because of my
01:27forward sitting seats.
01:31But it is nice and clean and it's quieter than the old train.
01:37So you usually use Wallow Creek Station?
01:41We use it a lot because we fly to different stations.
01:46Yeah. So you think that's going to be a problem for people?
01:49Well, I'm sure they'll change it. They'll have to change it so it meets up with Wallow Creek to the
01:59airport.
01:59To the airport, yep. And most important question, have you checked out the toilets?
02:04I haven't yet. But a young fellow sitting in the seat ahead of me, he just said, I'm going to
02:16check out the toilet.
02:17And when he came back, he said to his mates, I'll give it 7 out of 10.
02:21Okay.
02:22I'm going back.
02:22Let us know that.
02:23It is green.
02:24They have to do it again because they do it again and for the around the whole roof습니까.
02:26Thank you very much.
