Here are some photos from my recent trip to Sydney, where with some Railpage members travelled to the South Coast and the Hunter Valley.

Refurbished CityRail Railcar Endeavour 2801 is seen at Waratah. This car, even though fresh from refurbishment, is still the load, slow Endeavour the South Coast and Southern Highlands are used to. The toilets have already been damaged, and the pneumatic doors that lead to the vestuble are already broken. The seating, however, is a nice change with the new and fresh reversable OSCAR/Hunter seating.
