Sydney Trains fleet

The Sydney Trains fleet serves the metropolitan lines within Sydney, Australia. All of the rolling stock are double-deck electric multiple units and operate mainly as eight carriage sets.

S sets were manufactured by Comeng and A Goninan & Co. They were Sydney's first stainless steel double deck carriages. Two thirds of the fleet have been replaced by Waratahs; however, service expansion will not allow all S sets to be replaced by these trains. The remaining S sets will be replaced by H sets from NSW TrainLink when new Intercity trains are introduced (expected 2019) to replace V sets and allowing some H sets to be reallocated to Sydney Trains suburban services. In June 2014, when the final A set was delivered, the government announced all timetabled services would be airconditioned as S sets were removed from timetabled services and allowing them to operate as standbys. However, a few of the trains operate on all Sector 2 lines. S sets are the only passenger trains still in service in NSW which are not air conditioned.

K sets were manufactured by A Goninan & Co and were Sydney's first air-conditioned suburban trains. The first eight carriages built were built with air-conditioning, the remainder of the first order were built with forced-air ventilation, and retrofitted with air-conditioning in 2000. The second order were built with air-conditioning.

C sets were manufactured by A Goninan & Co. They were introduced in 1986 due to a delay in the design and introduction of the Tangara trains. They are distinguished by a moulded fiberglass front. They are also distinguished by the different sound of their brakes. They were the first trains to introduce the unpopular fixed seating. There are 14 C sets (C1-C14) The order was for 56 cars: Power cars - C3581-C3608 Trailer cars - T4247-T4274

The first set entered service in July 1986 operating out of Mortdale Maintenance Depot some were delivered to Hornsby Maintenance Depot, but by December 1988 all were operating out of Punchbowl Maintenance Depot as sets K40-K51
