File:New Intercity Fleet - Train arrival and testing - April 2020

Description
Since arriving in December 2019, the first two New Intercity Fleet trains have been undergoing an extensive testing regime including static testing at a maintenance facility centre in Eveleigh and on-track testing using a locomotive to haul the carriages to test sites.

In April 2020, these trains reached an important testing milestone by travelling on the network under their own power.

Over the next few months you’ll see more of these trains testing on the network, as we move towards the first passenger services later this year. The new fleet will be introduced progressively starting with the Central Coast and Newcastle Line, followed by the Blue Mountains Line and then the South Coast Line.
