The inside of passenger trains

Page 1 of 1 (Showing items 1-9 of 9 photos)

The interior of the train. It is clean and brightly lit, with white walls and ceiling and reversible blue-patterned fabric chairs in a 3-2 configuration. The chairs have a headrest and yellow handles on aisle seats. Large clear windows line both sides, providing views of the station platform outside. The station appears empty, and natural daylight fills the carriage.

Looking into the vestible area of a converted driving trailer of a V-set, the purple interior is brightly lit by sunshine and four bush plum colorued seats face inward, two on each side forming a longitudinal seating arrangement. Some faint marks of cleaned graffiti are visible on the chairs.

An electronic passenger information screen mounted near the ceiling, bordered in black. Displayed on the screen is stop information, showing that the next stop is "Hawkesbury R", and that the proceeding stations are Cowan (only accessible from Cars 5-8) in 10 minutes and Berowra in 15 minutes. Above the list of stations the current time is shown as 13:21 and on the far right of the screen the car number is listed in as "Car 7". The ceiling panels are a clean white colour and an out of focus bright yellow grab handle is visible to the top of the frame. The overall lighting is warm.

A small shiny rectangular steel plate reading "TANGARA" in uppercase writing, and reading "Designed and Manufactured by A. Goninan & Co. Limited Newcastle N.S.W." under it in smaller print. The plate is held into place with two bolts at the centre of each side. The background is a clear white colour and the image appears a bit dark. A bit of a green exit sticker is visible to the left of the frame but is cut off.

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.

The numbers "9040" printed in large black text above the top of a doorway on a purple wall. Only the very top of the door is visible with an automatic door closer and replacement metal hinge.

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.
