NSW TrainLink R set

The NSW TrainLink R set are a class of bi-mode multiple units being built by as part of the Regional Rail Project to replace NSW TrainLink's Endeavour, Xplorer and XPT fleets for long-distance services.

History
In the lead up to the 2015 state election, the Baird Government committed itself, if re-elected, to replacing the XPT fleet (19 power cars and 60 carriages). Having been returned to office, in October 2016, the government announced it was also considering replacing the Xplorer (23 carriages) and Endeavour (28 carriages) diesel multiple unit fleets.

In August 2017, the government announced it had decided to proceed with the replacement of all three fleets. In November 2017, three consortia, led by Bombardier, CAF and Downer, were shortlisted for the contract to build the trains. In May 2018, the Bombardier Consortium withdrew from the process.

A contract was signed in February 2019 with Momentum Trains, a consortium of CAF, DIF Infrastructure and Pacific Partnerships. The order will comprise 117 bi-mode Civity carriages which will make up a total of 29 trains:
 * 10 long (6-car) trainsets for use on long-distance Regional services (replacing the XPT fleet)
 * 9 short (3-car) short-distance Regional trainsets (replacing the Xplorer fleet)
 * 10 short (3-car) Intercity sets (replacing the Endeavour fleet)

All trains will be maintained at the purpose built Mindyarra Maintenance Centre in Dubbo.

The first complete 6-car unit arrived at Port Kembla on 14 February 2024 and was taken by road to Dubbo.
