Two fluted silver-bodied train carriages attached to each other, with the coupling and partially open gangway visible at the centre of the frame (portrait orientation). The door on the right carriage is visible and is yellow. The sky is overcast and the roof of the platform is visible to the top of the frame.

The windows in the external doors of V set carriage DIT 9136 have all been vandalised except one. The doors closest to the camera are ajar, showing the other set of doors having their windows replaced with a temporary steel cover.

The view of the door to the other carriage over an open gangway. The door is a greyish colour with a heavily scratched and unclear window and small handle. The gangway has shiny protective blockers on the side attached to each carriage to prevent people from falling from the train. The interior of the carriage the shot is taken from is painted purple. The lighting is mostly even, and warmer within the carriage.

The doorway of a train carriage taken as the train is moving at speed as indicated by the blurred outside visible through the windows on the yellow doors. To the left wall next the doors a detailed map of the "Sydney rail network" is visible along with some general public transport notice stickers. There are grab handles on both sides of the doorway, and the walls are painted a unique purple colour.

Looking out of a window down onto the gap between two carriages, with the ground and tracks visible in a blur showing that the train is moving at speed. Some coupling equipment and a tube is visible in the frame as well, and the other carriage is painted in a dirty grey colour.
