(I don't have much information on either the old goods line tunnels or the Bondi Junction line tunnels, since unlike the St. James tunnels I have never been in them.)
The article doesn't mention the two main lines from central station out through the inner west to the western suburbs. I know these are overground, so are not strictly subways as such, but they are all part of the same system. I'd have thought these should be mentioned, just as many sections of theLondon Underground are not in fact underground, but are still included as part of the LU system.GRAHAMUK 01:46, 24 Oct 2003 (UTC)There's a wealth of info on Sydney's trains but it's spread between this article and theCityRail article. What's the best way to go about combining it? I'm going to try and merge some of it tomorrow, see if it can be made more cohesive. --Randwicked 14:33, 19 Jun 2004 (UTC)
The list of lines omits the Eastern Subs line. Yes, it is operationally part of Illawarra, but really needs separate discussion.Thortful 03:53, 3 Oct 2004 (UTC)
Should we really be including information on how to get into the "Redfern pit"? Doesn't seem appropriate, somehow.
Hi,
I clearly remember reading either on the SETS (sydney electric traction society) website or "under the wires" (their magazine) that the matrix tunnel scene was actually filmed at rozelle train yards in an set made up by the production team. It couldn't have been possible to film it at the disused 25/26 since it doesnt have rail tracks and a old u boat set was used in the tunnels!203.24.7.9 (talk)01:49, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Should this page be part of theRailways in Sydney article? And the specifics of disused tunnels in the city intoCity Circle?Wongm (talk)04:42, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I would have to agree with the merger proposal, these 'underground lines' are just sections of rail-lines and the information could be easily covered in a sub-section on theRailways in Sydney page, or the individual lines pages. Otherwise we may as well have aSurface Railways in Sydney page as well.Quaidy (talk)09:18, 23 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
On 15 August 2008User:MrHarper did the merge and then on 31 August 2008User:JRG undid it. Doesn't the consensus here seem that itshouldbe merged, with JRG strongly opposing, andUser:Nick Dowling saying this article can stand by itself?Wongm (talk)06:54, 10 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think the articles should be merged, on the grounds that Sydney's underground railways are interesting in their own right, and their significance is distinct from that of the other article. The underground rail network has a significance all of it's own.Brickworkworld (talk)07:01, 2 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, the Matrix was definately filmed at Rozelle. I was directly involved in arranging the site. I have deleted the reference.--Commissioner Geoff (talk)06:33, 10 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I'm a bit confused. The article talks about an old Goods Line tunnel between just outside Central to Powerhouse. From what I understand, the old rail tunnel currently ends at the backside of the TAFE building 38 west of Railway Square. Though the railway did run all the way up to Powerhouse and beyond at one time, it seems even back in its history the tunnel was confined to a block or two area beneath Railway Square between TAFE on the west and the entrance just off to the east of the square. From what I can tell, between TAFE/George Street and Powerhouse, the rail either ran at grade or above grade; no part of this section of the rail spur seems to have been tunneled. Am I understanding this incorrectly, or is the article incorrect? --Criticalthinker (talk)09:50, 26 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
