Should've asked in this thread http://www.railpage.com.au/f-t11355248-s1850.htm![]()
Overall is Cityrail happy with the performance of the Waratah train so far? I have read that there is an option to order 20 additional sets. Do you think they will exercise that option or not? I hope they do.

I hope they do.Seeing that they are asking about the (current) performance of the Waratah trains and asking for any news on the additional sets, I don't see how it cannot be asked in the Waratah Updates thread.

Is 20 enough to replace all K & C sets?
And why would you want to do that. The C Sets are essentially a year or 2 younger than the Tangaras. They have aircon, so I dont see a problem

With the consortium building the current ones essentially broke I would think it unlikely that the government would go back to them for more.
Reliance Rail is owned by the following companies:
Downer EDI Limited (49%) — one of Australasia's largest outsourcing engineering services companies providing comprehensive engineering and infrastructure management services to the public and private transport, energy, communications and resources sectors.
Interests managed by AMP Capital Investors (25.5%) — one of Australia and New Zealand’s leading specialist investment managers and one of the longest standing participants in Australian infrastructure, with involvement in the asset class since 1988.
Royal Bank of Scotland Group plc (12.75%) — RBS is a market leader in developing and financing of social infrastructure in Australia
International Public Partnerships Limited (12.75%) — a U.K. listed PPP/PFI infrastructure fund managed by Amber Infrastructure Limited, a world leading developer and manager of social infrastructure assets.

I thought C sets were the test bed for Chopper control prior to being used in Tangaras and V sets. that would make them older.
C Sets built 1986-87 Tangaras 1988-94
