Seats:

The Mariyung trains were ordered to replace the V Sets on intercity services. They feature two by two fixed seating; charging ports for mobile devices; space for luggage, prams, wheelchairs and bicycles; improved accessibility; and customer information screens. Carriages are arranged into four-car ans six-car sets, which can be combined to form ten-car trains. Although the first sets arrived in December 2019 and testing began, they did not commence regular operation until December 2024. An agreement between the NSW Government and the Rail, Tram and Bus Union saw modifications to the trains before they entered passenger service. They are maintained at Kangy Angy Maintenance Centre, between Ourimbah and Tuggerah on the Central Coast. Mariyung is a Darug Aboriginal word that means ‘emu’.
