Sydney Trains, a state-owned entity based in Australia, founded in 2013, operates with approximately 5,110 employees. The company functions as an operator of trains in the greater Sydney suburban area.
On April 27, the Grafton XPT returned to service, marking a significant milestone in the $40.3 million XPT Life Extension Project. This five-year program overhauls the state's long-distance fleet, with this particular refurbishment involving approximately 60,000 hours of work and supporting up to 40 jobs, to ensure reliable rail services for regional communities. Previously, on April 20, a transport safety investigation report detailed that expectation bias and a lack of effective risk controls caused a Sydney Waratah passenger train to overspeed at four times the limit near Blacktown Station. Earlier, on April 15, Transport for NSW rolled out minor timetable adjustments for Sydney Trains and NSW TrainLink services, which Sydney Trains Chief Executive Matt Longland confirmed as regular planning informed by operational needs and passenger feedback. This followed the April 13 introduction of the Intercity Mariyung train on the South Coast Line. Its deployment precedes a service uplift later in 2026 that will deliver a train every 15 minutes in peak times between Wollongong and Sydney, as part of the new Sydney Trains timetable.
