I assume that A60 and A61 have entered passenger service since A59 and A63 are at Cardiff workshops.
Waratah Set A45 possibly out of service for a while, involved in an incident hitting a person at Blacktown station on Sunday (27/10) at around 1830 on route to PenrithBack in service the next day.
A1 is back at Cardiff after being rebuilt in China. Still a little more work than most current sets to be done on it, but it should be in service early next year. I also understand that A2 has been scrapped and another set has been built.what? A2 is being scrapped. that seems like a waste of money to me.
what? A2 is being scrapped. that seems like a waste of money to me.It was apparently rusted to the point that building a new set was cheaper. Most of the expensive stuff (doors, motors, roof gear, etc) will have been removed and re-used. Apart from that, they were just shells with very few interior fittings.

Next A set into service tomorrow, on run 175.That's Good Sector 3 is getting more A sets
Wait don't u mean run 178 as 175 was a S set today while 178 is now an A set from today.
Wait then why was 175 a S set today?Perhaps the A Set tasked for that run was unavailable. Perhaps the run was transposed due to late running or a defect in service.

According to Telegram 428-13GM, Roster 181 has changed to A set consist, from Wednesday, 20/11/13.Hi Scott,
Since the commencement of the October Timetable, four (4) Rosters have changed from S to A set consist (172, 175, 180 & 181).
This now brings up a total of 56 Waratah A sets required to operate the Timetable.

Hi Scott,
Can you please expand and mention where the rosters are for?
Are they T1, T2????
Also if possible what is the time and place of the first run (A) for the day.
Thanks.
Keith
I also realised that the older sets of waratah trains usually operate on T3 (Bankstown Line). Rarely any new sets operate on this line.
Does anyone know when the large amounts of S-sets on the Bankstown Line will the scheduled for a waratah train instead?
During 2014, the plan is to have the Rosters currently running on the Bankstown Line with a S set consist, changed to a K set consist.
Some K set Rosters running on Sector 3 will be changed to A set consist, which will release a number of K sets to work in Sector 2.
It somewhat spreads the use of air-conditioned sets across the two sectors.
- Scott.
Discussions waaay back in the thread said no - no Waratahs planned for sector 3.
There any reasons to why there won't be Waratahs planned for sector 3? Power problems?? Or there's no need to as the line is already fully air conditioned?Waratah's run sector 3 everyday, almost 2 in 3 trains are an A set on Sector 3 and 3a. If you are talking about the Illawarra which is exclusively Tangara and Oscar (with exception of failures), then you are talking about Sector 1.
Discussions waaay back in the thread said no - no Waratahs planned for sector 3.Wait don't u mean for sector 1 as their are still many waratahs planned for sector 3.
