Cityrail Fleet

Suburban fleet

The interiors of CityRail's suburban rollingstock is designed with the CityRail network in mind; that is, with a high density of passengers in city areas accommodated by large vestibule areas, as well as the large amount of seating in a 2x3 combination accommodating the long distances some passengers have to travel. They can be divided into several different 'generations'.

L, R and S sets (19721987)

L set

Main article: CityRail L, R & S sets

L, R and S sets are the oldest trains currently operating on suburban lines. They are fitted with forced-air fans for the circulation of air within the cars. These are the "second-generation" of electric trains in Sydney and are of stainless steel construction. The sets were manufactured by Commonwealth Engineering (Comeng) (L, R and S sets) distinguished by a curved fiberglass section above the drivers cabin, and A Goninan & Co. distinguished by a flat section above the drivers cabin(R and S sets). S sets manufactured by either firm run in 8 or 4 car configurations, R sets run in 6 car configuration, and L sets were originally designed to run as 2 car sets, but presently run in three car configurations. The crew compartments of these trains were fitted with air-conditioning between 20012005. These sets were all introduced between 1972 and 1987. After these non-air-conditioned trains will be withdrawn from service from 2010 and will be replaced by the A sets nicknamed the "Waratah". Because of that these air-conditioned train sets will continue to operate after the launch.

K set (19811985)

K set

Main article: CityRail K set

K sets were manufactured by A Goninan & Co. and were the first air-conditioned suburban trains.

The first cars built - four two-car sets - were air-conditioned, the remainder of the fleet were built with forced-air ventilation, and were subsequently retrofitted with air-conditioning.

They follow the general configuration of the previous stainless steel generation (L, R and S sets), but are distinguished by a flat section above the drivers cabin. They run in 2, 4 or 8 car configurations and were introduced between 1981 and 1985.

C set (1986)

C set

Main article: CityRail C set

C sets were also manufactured by A Goninan & Co. They were introduced in 1986 and utilised "chopper" control (instead of camshaft operation) to braking and acceleration for improved performance. They run in 4 or 8 car configurations and are the last of the second generation. Even though Cityrail is currently operating a 6 car C Set due to damage by vandals it is still a C Set not a R Set. Trains - distinguished by a curved fiberglass section above the drivers cabin.

T set (Tangara) (19881994)

T set

Main article: CityRail T & G sets

Tangaras (T sets) are the third generation of electric rollingstock on the CityRail suburban network and were manufactured by A Goninan & Co. They feature a distinctive sloped appearance at the cab ends and run in 4 or 8 car configuration. They were introduced between 1988 and 1994, replacing the last of the first generation singledeck electrics which had operated for many decades.

M set (Millennium train) (20022005)

M set

Main article: CityRail M set

Millennium trains (M sets) were introduced between 2002 and 2005, constituting the fourth generation of CityRail suburban rollingstock. These were the first suburban trains in Sydney fitted with a multiphase alternating current traction system. The trains run in 4 or 8 car configurations.They replaced the old tulloch trailers which the R and S sets used to run with.

A set (Waratah) (20102014)

Main article: CityRail A set

There will be new suburban carriages delivered under a Public Private Partnership (PPP) between RailCorp and Reliance Rail between 2010 and 2014.

Intercity and Outer Suburban fleet

The network's interurban services are designed with extra facilities (such as armrests and on-board toilets) to cater for longer distance journeys connecting Sydney with regional centres. All interurban trains are air-conditioned.

V set (Interurban) (19701989)

V set

Main article: CityRail V set

V sets (alternately Double Deck Interurban, or DDIU, rollinsgtock) form the backbone of CityRail's interurban services. They were manufactured by Comeng and were introduced between 1970 and 1989. They run in four, six or eight car configurations, and have been known to run in 10 car sets or greater numbers in revenue service, in special circumstances. They contain toilets and drinking fountains.

G set (outer Suburan Tangara) (19941995)

G set

Main article: CityRail T & G sets

G set are a variant of the suburban Tangara and were introduced between 1994 and 1995, originally being known as 'Odyssey' trains. and run on shorter interurban services such as to Springwood and Gosford. What makes them different from the "T" set Tangaras is that they have baggage storage in each carriage, and a unisex toilet in each 4 car block. They also have selective door opening capability for use with shorter platforms in outer suburban areas. These trains also operate on longer suburban runs, especially outside of peak hours. On the full introduction of the OSCARs, the G sets will be 'suburbanised' to look like T sets and reintroduced to the suburban network. They were the first suburban trains to contain toilets.

H set (OSCARs) (2006-)

H set

Main article: CityRail H set

H sets (nicknamed OSCARs, for Outer Suburban Cars), were introduced from 2006. These sets will run on the intermediate outer suburban service area (South Coast, Blue Mountains and Central Coast lines) and also on the new Epping to Chatswood line due to line limitations (Northern Line since October 11, 2009 also due to noiseness of the ECRL after been conjoined with the NL), falling short of true interurban trains but exceeding the definition of suburban trains. They are similar in design to the G sets. The OSCARS allow some G sets to run on suburban lines. They also contain toilets and drinking fountains.

Diesel fleet

The network's diesel multiple units are run on the Southern Highlands Line, the far reaches of the South Coast Line (between Kiama and Bomaderry (Nowra)), and the regional Hunter Line.

Endeavour railcar (1994)

Endeavour set

Main article: CityRail Endeavour railcar

Endeavour railcars were introduced in 1994. The 28 carriages were manufactured by Adtranz. They serve the Southern Highlands Line between Campbelltown and Goulburn, the far reaches of the South Coast Line (between Kiama and Bomaderry (Nowra)), and the regional Hunter Line.

Hunter railcar (20062007)

Hunter railcar

Main article: CityRail Hunter railcar

Hunter railcars are the newest members of CityRail's diesel fleet, serving the Hunter line. Introduced between November 22, 2006 and September 10, 2007, they replaced the old 620 and 720 railcars. Features of the series of the 7 2-car trains include air-conditioning, security cameras, on-board passenger information displays and digital voice announcements.

Operating Sectors

CityRail's electric trains run in several operational sectors, tied to particular maintenance depots. The target plate at the front of each train reveals the operating sector, depending on the colour of the plate. Diesel units do not have target plates or a particular operational sector, but can in practice be considered to operate on a unique sector as they service the non-electrified portions of the system.

Sector 1 (Red target plates)

Sector 1 covers the Eastern Suburbs and Illawarra and South Coast lines. The out stabling and depot points for Sector 1 include Cronulla, Waterfall and Bondi Junction.

The following trains operate in Sector 1 and are maintained at Mortdale Maintenance Depot:

L sets and S sets

T sets and G sets

Sector 2 (Blue target plates)

Sector 2 covers the City Circle lines (Airport and East Hills, Bankstown, Inner West and South lines), the Cumberland line, the Carlingford line and Olympic Park Sprint. The out stabling and depot points for Sector 2 include Campbelltown and Liverpool.

The following trains operate in Sector 2 and are maintained at Flemington Maintenance Depot:

L, R sets and S sets

C sets

Some Sector 1 T sets and Sector 5 M sets are used on Sector 2 services, but are not maintained at Flemington.

Sector 3 (Black target plates)

Sector 3 covers the North Shore, Northern and Western lines. In peak times, Sector 3 also incorporates the Blue Mountains line to Springwood, and the Newcastle and Central Coast line to Wyong. Local Newcastle services on the Central Coast line are also included. The out stabling and depot points for Sector 3 include Penrith, Blacktown, Richmond, North Sydney and Hornsby.

The following trains operate in Sector 3 and are maintained at Hornsby Maintenance Depot:

R sets and S sets

K sets

T sets and G sets

Sector 4 (Blue target plates)

Sector 4 covers interurban services within the New South Wales electrified rail network between Sydney (Central) and the Blue Mountains, South Coast, Newcastle, and Central Coast. The out stabling and depot points for Sector 4 include Newcastle, Gosford, Mount Victoria, Lithgow, and Wollongong.

The following trains operate in Sector 4 and are maintained at Flemington Maintenance Depot:

V sets

Sector 5 (Green target plates)

Sector 5 is not a geographical portion of the system, but refers to trains which are maintained at the Eveleigh Maintenance Centre. The Millennium trains on Sector 2. The OSCARS work on Sector 1 and 3 at the present time. These trains are:

M sets

H sets

MainTrain

MainTrain, located near Auburn, is contracted by RailCorp for all heavy maintenance and overhauls of the CityRail electric fleet (excluding the Millennium trains and H sets).
