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 saw the first of 55 eight-car Tangara electric multiple-units, undergoing a life-extension refit, return to service on Line T4 of its commuter network on October 1. This A$447 million program aims to extend the original Goninan-built Tangara EMUs' service life by more than a decade. Previously, on September 29, Sydney Trains expanded a policy barring passengers from using the rear carriages of all Tangara trains for the duration of the school holidays, citing security breaches involving people breaking into crew cabs. On September 28, New South Wales invited manufacturers to express interest in building Tangara replacement trains, representing the initial fleet planned under its $12 billion program to revive train building in the Hunter, with responses due by November 10. This follows the initial return of the first refurbished Tangara to passenger service on September 4, operating on the T4 Eastern Suburbs & Illawarra Line, a significant milestone for the A$447 million Tangara Life Extension program being carried out at Auburn, Flemington, and Cardiff to improve network reliability and extend the trains' lifespan.
