The V sets are a class of Australian electric multiple unit operated by NSW TrainLink in New South Wales. These stainless steel double deck trains operate on Interurban services on the Main Western line to Lithgow and Main Northern line to Hamilton (Newcastle). These trains no longer operate on the NSW TrainLink South Coast Line to Kiama or Port Kembla due to the newer H sets.
The V sets were delivered over a 19-year period from 1970.
