Entire fleet being replaced in the next few years with brand new trains and a new maintenance facility in Dubbo. First trains already in Australia and testing starts soon.Maybe regional NSW will get a look-in at some stage![]()

Regional Rail | Transport for NSW
A new regional NSW fleet will replace the ageing XPT trains between Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, and major regional centres.
As up thread.. very expensive with platform rebuilds.but we need way more - many more lines, and all existing lines modernised to the new standard.
Plus automated metros really need dedicated track and much of our network is comingled with freight and intercity/regional trains sharing the same track.
