NSW TrainLink fleet

V set

V sets (alternately Double Deck Interurban, or DDIU, rollingstock) form the backbone of NSW TrainLink's interurban services. They were manufactured by Comeng and were introduced between 1970 and 1989. They run in four or eight car configurations containing toilets on the Central Coast & Newcastle Line and the Blue Mountains Line to Lithgow.

H set

H sets (nicknamed OSCARs, for Outer Suburban Cars) were introduced from 2006 and operate as 4 or 8 car sets on the Blue Mountains Line, Central Coast & Newcastle Line and South Coast Line. The OSCARs were initially ordered to replace the G set Tangaras on outer suburban runs, however in addition to this they have also been used to replace some of the older interurban V sets which have been retired. They contain toilets and feature suburban style 3x2 seating and perform some suburban only work in addition to their main outer suburban duties.

In May 2014, the NSW Government announced its intention to purchase new trains, with a fleet of around 520 new carriages for the NSW TrainLink intercity network expected to begin service in 2019. These trains would replace all V Sets and at least some original quiet carriage-based, OSCARS on intercity services. The displaced OSCAR trains would then be re-allocated to suburban services and used to replace the Sydney Trains K and C while the entire V Set fleet would be withdrawn.[1]

In August 2016, the contract to supply new intercity trains was awarded to RailConnect, a joint venture of Hyundai Rotem, Mitsubishi Electric and UGL Rail.[2]

The first was delivered in late 2019. As of January 2021, none are in regular service.

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), services on the Blue Mountains Line that extend to Bathurst, and the regional Hunter Line.

Endeavour railcar

Endeavour railcars were introduced in 1994. The 28 carriages were manufactured by Adtranz.[3] They serve all lines on which diesel trains operate. The New South Wales Xplorer is a long distance configuration of the same basic design.

Hunter railcar

Hunter railcars are the newest members of NSW TrainLink's diesel fleet, serving the Hunter line only. Introduced between 22 November 2006[4] and 10 September 2007,[5] they replaced the old 620/720 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.[4]
