V Set Trains on the Illawarra 1988 | Central to the End of the Wires

Filmed in 1988, this video follows NSW V set trains in original service, running from Central Station — the heart of the city — south to Port Kembla, marking the extent of the overhead electrification at the time.
Captured in their original blue goose livery alongside early candy colour schemes, the footage presents the V set as it was intended to be seen: close-up, in motion, and working long-distance intercity services beyond the suburban core.

Views of V sets moving through stations, corridors, and infrastructure that defined intercity rail in the late 1980s. From Central’s platforms to the limits of the wires south of Wollongong, this is a record of the V set in everyday service during a formative period of its working life.
