New South Wales V set
The New South Wales V sets were a class of electric multiple units (EMU) that formerly operated on Sydney's surrounding intercity network from 1970 up until 2026. Built by Comeng between 1970 and 1989 and first delivered under the Department of Railways, the sets are of stainless steel construction.
On 30 January 2026, the final V set operated its last revenue service on the intercity Blue Mountains Line, marking the end of all V set operations on Sydney's rail network and surrounding regions in New South Wales.
The V sets were delivered over a 19-year period from 1970.
