Twenty-four new trains will be on the road in Sydney in the coming week, and these trains are a bit unusual! They look like Sydney`s existing Waratah trains, but the biggest feature is that they`re all Made in China! Made in China!
For passengers, the only significant difference from the previous version of the 24 new Waratah B-Series is the orange appearance of the cab and adjustments to the lighting of the carriage and its electronic display, Gladys Berejiklian said. 24 new Waratah Series 2 trains will be fully air-conditioned throughout the network and aging S-Set trains will be deactivated.
Finally, you don`t have to take an air-conditioned train!
For commuters in the southwest, in particular, this is undoubtedly the best news because of the lack of air conditioning, which has forced them to endure unpleasant summer trips on the old S series and to be nurtured by the stench of sweat.
These trains invest a total of 1.7 billion! Passenger service is expected to begin in the next two weeks for the first of the 24 new Waratah trains.
New state governor Gladys Berregillian and transport secretary Andrew Constance were being tested online on Thursday in one of three new Waratah trains.
They were very satisfied with the trains. "it`s really a better version, it`s already a good train," she said.
While the Government could choose to purchase 45 additional Waratah trains, Ms. Berejiklian said that before a decision on any new purchase was taken, The impact of new multi-billion dollar subway lines on existing transport networks needs to be considered. The Waratah train type will soon become a Sydney train fleet, accounting for more than half of the total.
