1 1 Sydneys Super Tunnel S02E04 Subtitles

At 00:00:01,770, Character said: In Australia, Sydney is on a mission.

2
At 00:00:04,870, Character said: There's still a huge amount of work that
we need to do. To relieve chronic

3
At 00:00:08,390, Character said: traffic congestion.

4
At 00:00:10,230, Character said: Sydney's traffic problems are incredibly
difficult to solve. By building a new

5
At 00:00:14,310, Character said: state -of -the -art metro system right
through the heart of the city.

6
At 00:00:20,550, Character said: But can it all be built underneath five
million busy people?

7
At 00:00:25,230, Character said: Huge logistical nightmare.

8
At 00:00:27,270, Character said: Without bringing them to a standstill. A
lot of things have to go right.

9
At 00:00:31,200, Character said: In sequence.

10
At 00:00:33,520, Character said: So an expert team of men and women from
around the world... Quite scary.

11
At 00:00:39,600, Character said: There's a lot that can go wrong.

12
At 00:00:41,360, Character said: ..are stepping up to this challenge with
some pleasure... Oh, wow, this is

13
At 00:00:47,460, Character said: amazing. ..and pain... Wow.

14
At 00:00:50,460, Character said: ..along the way.

15
At 00:00:51,660, Character said: That's my station here. That's what we
built.

16
At 00:01:07,500, Character said: The construction on the groundbreaking
Sydney Metro City line is rapidly

17
At 00:01:12,420, Character said: approaching its last stop.

18
At 00:01:14,680, Character said: Seven new 21st century railway stations
have been coming to life, filling the

19
At 00:01:20,880, Character said: massive voids of the station boxes deep
beneath Australia's busiest city.

20
At 00:01:27,480, Character said: The biggest underground railway cavern
in Australia, Victoria Cross, has been

21
At 00:01:33,320, Character said: transformed into a striking...

22
At 00:01:35,580, Character said: fully functioning automated train
stations.

23
At 00:01:38,300, Character said: At Crows Nest, more than 126 ,000 custom
-made bricks have been laid by

24
At 00:01:45,140, Character said: hand, creating its unique design.

25
At 00:01:48,740, Character said: Right next to the harbour at Barangaroo,
sandstone cladding has topped off the

26
At 00:01:54,100, Character said: station. At Martin Place, the new
pedestrian tunnel linking the metro to

27
At 00:02:00,080, Character said: existing suburban station has been
transformed into a path of light.

28
At 00:02:04,890, Character said: with immersive sound and lightscape.

29
At 00:02:07,270, Character said: In the inner city suburb of Waterloo,
finishing touches are underway,

30
At 00:02:13,330, Character said: massive public art installations and the
display of some artefacts found during

31
At 00:02:18,430, Character said: the excavation.

32
At 00:02:19,730, Character said: In the CBD, Pitt Street Station is
nearing completion and has now been

33
At 00:02:25,530, Character said: Gadigal, recognising the local
indigenous community.

34
At 00:02:30,110, Character said: And at Central, The longest escalators
in the southern hemisphere have been

35
At 00:02:35,230, Character said: lowered into place, each 45 meters long
and weighing more than 26 tons.

36
At 00:02:53,450, Character said: Now that the tracks are down, and the
trains have made their first tentative

37
At 00:02:57,850, Character said: runs on the city line, Hugh Lawson has
come to witness the finishing touches to

38
At 00:03:03,620, Character said: the platform screen doors.

39
At 00:03:05,460, Character said: Platform screen doors are a critical
piece of the infrastructure, really

40
At 00:03:09,640, Character said: symbolic of Metro. It's one of the key
features customers see and keeps them

41
At 00:03:13,060, Character said: safe on the platforms.

42
At 00:03:14,140, Character said: The PSDs, as they're commonly called,
are one of the last pieces of train

43
At 00:03:18,840, Character said: infrastructure to be bolted down.

44
At 00:03:21,620, Character said: But it was a long journey to get them
into the stations.

45
At 00:03:26,100, Character said: We brought them in actually through the
tunnels on high -rail vehicles.

46
At 00:03:29,690, Character said: dropped them onto the platforms, and
then from the platforms we had special

47
At 00:03:32,770, Character said: lifting equipment.

48
At 00:03:33,990, Character said: If you look at them, those are really
heavy pieces of glass, like reinforced

49
At 00:03:37,290, Character said: glass, big panes.

50
At 00:03:38,870, Character said: That's where you get nice views through
them when you're in the train so you

51
At 00:03:41,810, Character said: know which station you're at.

52
At 00:03:43,050, Character said: They've g***t to go in absolutely spot on,
millimetre accuracy.

53
At 00:03:46,870, Character said: These are super precise bits of
mechanical kit.

54
At 00:03:50,210, Character said: These doors are going to operate
something like 70 ,000 times a year, so

55
At 00:03:54,250, Character said: imagine any slight misalignment on the
doors is going to be a problem.

56
At 00:03:58,670, Character said: So the team that come in and install
them, specialist team, went station to

57
At 00:04:02,490, Character said: station, installing every single panel,
every door, lining them up, testing

58
At 00:04:07,150, Character said: them, making sure they were working, and
then we move on to the next one and the

59
At 00:04:10,290, Character said: next one. So, yeah, really specialised
tasks to get these doors in and make

60
At 00:04:14,250, Character said: they're going to be good for their 30
-year design life.

61
At 00:04:16,470, Character said: There's one final detail that the
construction teams have left.

62
At 00:04:20,630, Character said: to peel the remaining section of
protective coating off the last platform

63
At 00:04:25,570, Character said: doors on the entire metro.

64
At 00:04:28,050, Character said: So we thought we'd save the last bit for
Hugh to come down. He's obviously been

65
At 00:04:31,590, Character said: here for the full journey. It'd be nice
to come down and just mark that

66
At 00:04:34,430, Character said: together.

67
At 00:04:38,850, Character said: This is the very last bit. This is it.

68
At 00:04:42,130, Character said: Six years of work and this is the very
last stage of the project now.

69
At 00:04:45,630, Character said: That's all the way. I'm really glad to
see this last piece of the puzzle coming

70
At 00:04:48,750, Character said: together. Yeah.

71
At 00:04:52,430, Character said: It's a pretty special day because we've
been working at Central for probably

72
At 00:04:55,890, Character said: seven years, from putting in an access
bridge to the archaeological work to the

73
At 00:05:01,490, Character said: excavation, then building the structure,
finishes the systems, now into the

74
At 00:05:06,090, Character said: testing. So getting to that last bit of
construction and that handover point,

75
At 00:05:11,350, Character said: that's massive.

76
At 00:05:15,630, Character said: And with the plastic now coming off, the
last of the 288 glass doors that keep

77
At 00:05:21,450, Character said: people safe have been installed along
the edge of all the metro platforms.

78
At 00:05:26,750, Character said: By the time we open the railway,
something like 50 ,000 people will have

79
At 00:05:29,930, Character said: directly involved in building this
metro.

80
At 00:05:33,580, Character said: There's probably tens of thousands more
who've been involved or their family or

81
At 00:05:38,000, Character said: their friends have who've been touched
by kind of the work that's been going

82
At 00:05:41,040, Character said: So all of those people rightly should be
pretty proud of what we've achieved.

83
At 00:05:45,460, Character said: And I hope they'll be there on the
opening day or thereabouts to come and

84
At 00:05:48,800, Character said: what the finished product's like.

85
At 00:05:58,360, Character said: The Sydney Metro City Line is just about
ready to go.

86
At 00:06:03,020, Character said: But one of the last remaining hurdles is
signing off on the automated train. As

87
At 00:06:07,980, Character said: we come around, the guys are moving
through the process.

88
At 00:06:12,520, Character said: Delivery Director of Train, Melvin
Bolas, and Testing and Commissioning

89
At 00:06:17,560, Character said: Andrew Turner, are on a special mission.

90
At 00:06:20,840, Character said: Morning, guys. How are we?

91
At 00:06:22,600, Character said: So today the train is going through its
final paces as part of the integrated

92
At 00:06:26,840, Character said: railway approach. So we've shut down the
railway on the north -west.

93
At 00:06:31,080, Character said: We have actually possession of the whole
northwest and city line to do this

94
At 00:06:35,540, Character said: testing. What we call UTO, in UTO mode,
unintended train operations.

95
At 00:06:40,380, Character said: And basically what that means is
driverless.

96
At 00:06:44,220, Character said: So this train is about to run from
Talawong, the most northwesterly point,

97
At 00:06:50,220, Character said: Sydenham, the very end of the city line.

98
At 00:06:53,860, Character said: TC1, this is train set 36.

99
At 00:06:55,930, Character said: We are ready to switch the train back
into UTR mode and release EV over.

100
At 00:07:05,250, Character said: In the crucial final stages of dynamic
testing, the train will need to execute

101
At 00:07:11,190, Character said: every single automated function and
feature on its own. And to perfection.

102
At 00:07:17,720, Character said: The big test is as soon as we go past
Chatswood and into the city, where

103
At 00:07:22,280, Character said: be monitoring closely how this train
performs and driverless, seeing the

104
At 00:07:26,960, Character said: open, seeing how it controls into the
station, and it's take -off.

105
At 00:07:32,080, Character said: Looks like we're about to get going.
We're about to launch.

106
At 00:07:34,920, Character said: There we go.

107
At 00:07:37,320, Character said: Wow, that's pretty cool.

108
At 00:07:41,460, Character said: The train makes its way along the
northwest line.
