Rolling stock public-private partnership

Sydney’s next generation of suburban passenger trains will provide customers with improved security, safety and accessibility features.

The new trains will be delivered thanks to the NSW Government's $3.6 billion rolling stock public-private partnership (PPP): an agreement with the private sector to build and maintain 626 new carriages for 30 years.

This is the largest single procurement of trains in Australian history, and is equivalent to about 50 per cent of CityRail's current suburban fleet.

The new trains will be progressively introduced into service from late 2010.
