The workhorse of Sydney's passenger network

Australia’s largest fleet of passenger trains—the Waratah train fleet

The Waratah Train Fleet stands as the backbone of Sydney’s rail network, delivering unparalleled reliability and comfort to commuters. Comprising 119 state-of-the-art, double-decker trains, the Waratah series represents the largest fleet of passenger trains in Australia.

Designed with passenger convenience in mind, these trains feature smart air conditioning systems that adapt to ambient temperatures and occupancy levels, ensuring a comfortable journey in all conditions.

Enhanced safety measures include comprehensive CCTV coverage, advanced fire detection technology, and an open carriage design that allows seamless movement throughout the train.

Maintained at a purpose-built facility in Sydney’s West, as well as heavy maintenance being undertaken in the Hunter, the Waratah fleet consistently achieves high performance standards, making it a cornerstone of Sydney’s public transport infrastructure.
