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.
Sydney Trains will conduct a multi-system renewal program on the Blue Mountains corridor from August 14-17, 2026, targeting Blackheath embankment work, rail signalling, and overhead wiring. This follows a court's approval on July 27 of an $18.1 million settlement in an underpayments class action against the operator, from which $2 million will be deducted for legal costs. Earlier in July, on the 20th, Sydney Trains introduced two additional 10-car Mariyung trains onto the Newcastle and Central Coast line, replacing eight-car sets and adding 173 extra seats to each peak-hour service. Previously, on July 7, the rail operator sought more effective maintenance for its Mitel multimedia communications platform, a system crucial for day-to-day safe operations, after experiencing slow support turnarounds and a lack of local skills from a large telco. On July 6, Sydney Trains welcomed one of its largest intakes of female apprentices, marking a 50% increase from the previous year and raising female representation to 11.1% of its apprentice workforce, coinciding with the opening of a new training facility.
