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 June 22, 2026, the New South Wales Government announced a record $2.1 billion investment for the Sydney Train Network as part of its 2026-2027 State Budget. This funding aims to deliver maintenance works, improve reliability, and enhance incident response. The Rail Reliability Plan, previously detailed on June 17, includes an additional $200 million for network maintenance, upgrades totaling $150 million over four years for the Rail Operations Centre, and the recruitment of additional train drivers and guards for Intercity services connecting Sydney, Illawarra, Central Coast, Newcastle, and the Blue Mountains. Previously, on June 16, Sydney Trains temporarily suspended its oldest suburban K-set services from the network. The decision followed repeated cabin break-ins and vandalism incidents, with Sydney Trains chief executive Matt Longland confirming the temporary withdrawal of the approximately 45-year-old fleet while security arrangements are under review.
