New Mariyung trains, named for the emu, start service on Sydney’s Blue Mountains Line on October 13, 2025, after delays.
The Mariyung train fleet, built in Korea, will begin service on Sydney’s Blue Mountains Line on October 13, 2025, after years of delays due to infrastructure upgrades.
The new electric trains, named after the Darug word for emu, offer wider seats, tray tables, charging ports, luggage and bike space, and modern climate control.
Fixed seating replaces reversible seats from older V-sets, prioritizing comfort and amenities based on customer feedback.
The fleet, capable of running in 4- to 10-car configurations seating over 820 passengers, first entered service in Newcastle in December 2024 with positive rider response.
Blue Mountains MP Trish Doyle welcomed the upgrade, highlighting improved accessibility and reliability.
The rollout follows safety checks and platform modifications across the network.
