Re: Re: Sydney Metro

In the old days Sydney used a relay driver for quick turnarounds at St James and Wynyard Low Level. They achieved greater capacity than that being claimed for the auto metro. Remember the old electrics only had two doors on each side of each car.

The Shore lines through the city were originally signalled for 42 trains per hour per track.
