Tangara Technology Upgrade Update

Hi all.

A lot of you have been asking me for an update on the Tanagara Technology Upgrade.

The photo above was in the September 2017 Fleet Update.

This photo was taken inside set T106.

Currently the two sets undergoing the upgrade and trials to do with the upgrade are at UGL UniPart in Auburn.

The sets are T72 and T106.

Testing should start sometime soon with these two sets followed by the entry to service some time after that.

If anyone does have any info, please follow Sydney Trains Vlogs on Facebook and send me a message through there.

New Tangara Light Weight Plug Doors

Sunday 7th February 2016

New Tangara Light Weight Plug Doors.

Back in 2014 there were a couple of trial Tangara's that recieved the new light weight plug doors which strongly resemble M Set doors but i assure you they are not M Set doors, apart from the window shape they are completely different.

The very first Tangara to get the new doors was T96 followed by T33 & T64.

In 2015 the trial was a sucess.

In the second half of 2015 the rest of the Tangara fleet started receiving the new light weight plug doors.

As of February 2016 almost half the Tangara fleet have the new doors.

These new doors do not have panels below the windows so undesirable idiots can't kick the panels out.

The photo below show's 2 Tangara sets coupled.

One with the new doors and one with the original doors.

What is your opinion on the new doors?

I quite like them.
