The Tangara comes in two subclasses - suburban sets known as "T sets", and outer-suburban sets known as "G sets". Tangaras commenced service between 1988 and 1995, and are known as "third generation" trains.[1] A Tangara is a four-car set, with the middle two cars being non-control motor cars, and the two outer cars being driving control trailers fitted with one pantograph. Like other suburban trains in the CityRail fleet, Tangaras are of a double-decker design. The trains are equipped with air conditioning and chopper control. Two four-car sets can be coupled to provide one eight-car set - most suburban Tangaras operate this way. There are occasional workings of an eight-car Tangara set made up of one G set and one T set, usually on outer suburban routes when there is a shortage of G Sets. A total of 450 carriages were ordered, and in 1996, five spare driving trailers were ordered as replacements for accident-damaged carriages. All carriages were manufactured by Goninan.

The T sets are the third newest suburban trains in the CityRail fleet. With 370 carriages, the T sets are one of the most common models in the fleet. The T sets replaced the first generation of Sydney's electric rolling stock.[1] The cars built were: Driving Trailer Cars - D6101-D6285 with additional spare cars D6286-D6289. Motor Cars - N5101-N5285. Unlike most other CityRail trains the seats in the upper and lower decks of T sets are not reversible, but in a fixed position, meaning that half of passengers are often facing backwards. When first introduced the T sets were fitted with passenger door release handles to prevent loss of air conditioning at stations. These were later disconnected (and some removed and plated over), possibly due to passengers not getting used to opening the doors for themselves when needed. A lot of T sets still have these handles in place, but pulling them does nothing. CityRail C set carriages were fitted with a similar system, using push buttons instead of handles. The T sets originally had blue fabric upholstery that has since been replaced with blue vinyl upholstery. Although, a T set (Set T42) is currently in operation with new blue fabric upholstery and repadded in a softer padding. T-set interior images Original seating fabric.

The Northern line sees very few T sets, Due to overheating problems in the regenerative braking units when operated as a testing service through the Epping-Chatswood Rail Link.

The upper deck of a G set prior to refurbishment. In service 1994–present Manufacturer Goninan Constructed 1994 Formation 4 and 8 car (two 4 car sets) Capacity 406 seated (4 car set - 98 in driving cars and motor car with lavatory, 112 in motor car) Operator RailCorp as the product group CityRail Line(s) served Illawarra, South Coast, Blue Mountains, Western & North Shore lines [Occasionally on the Inner West, Bankstown, South and Airport lines] Specifications Car length 20.320 m (66 ft 8 in) Width 3 m (9 ft 10 in) Height 4.413 m (14 ft 6 in) Weight 42 tonnes Gauge 1,435 mm (4 ft 8 1⁄2 in) The last 80 of the 450 Tangara cars were modified for use on South Coast, Blue Mountains and Central Coast peak hour services and are known as the outer-suburban G sets. They entered service in 1994-1995, shortly after the delivery of the last T set carriages. The G sets have a similar external appearance to the T sets - the only major differences are round green door buttons and a modified front with orange panels & bottom corners that taper inwards. Inside, the G sets sport improvements, such as high-backed reversible seats, toilets, fresh water dispensers and luggage racks. The G sets were originally nicknamed "Odyssey" when first released[citation needed]. The cars built were: Driving Trailer Cars - OD6801-OD6841 Motor Cars - ON5801-ON5820. Motor Cars with Toilet - ONL5851-ONL5870. Set G7 was fitted with an AC drive system for evaluation purposes with the existing DC stock and compatibility with signalling and communication systems on the network. G7 was scrapped in 2005 at Maintrain facility at Auburn after the Waterfall train disaster, as all four cars were beyond repair. Due to the withdrawal of 15 V Set carriages in late 2005, G set Tangaras subsequently began to do more off-peak Intercity runs to Port Kembla, Kiama, and Wyong. For a brief period, G sets even operated as far as Newcastle, a feat many people believed wasn't possible because of the loading gauge past Wyong[citation needed]. G-set Tangaras also operate on the Blue Mountains line, though only as far as Springwood, meaning the vast majority of services are provided by V Sets. Since 2007, the role of the G sets has been changing. The OSCARs (H sets) - introduced between December 2006 and 2008 - are essentially replacing the G sets as outer-suburban trains, meaning the G sets are being progressively redeployed to suburban services. This will provide extra capacity on high demand existing services such as on the Western lines and allow new services to be introduced. As of 2008, G sets are often used on peak suburban services that extend into intercity areas, such as services to Spingwood (via the Western line). In 2009, the conversion of G sets to T sets began, to allow their transfer to suburban working as OSCAR sets continue to replace their interurban duties. Conversion work consists of the removal of toilets and their replacement with additional seating, installation of new handrails and hangers and the recoding of cars and sets. G4 was the first to be converted (into T104). As of 2010, the program is ongoing. For the purpose of set allocation, G sets no longer exist in the CityRail Working Timetable. They are simply referred to as T sets. Sets awaiting conversion retain their G set target plate. Lines serviced Usual routes: Eastern Suburbs & Illawarra Lines: Bondi Junction to Waterfall / Cronulla South Coast Line: Central to Kiama or Port Kembla Blue Mountains Line: Central to Springwood North Shore & Western Lines: Berowra to Emu Plains / Richmond East Hills: Macarthur to City circle In service Since 2003, all Tangaras have been updated with a new CityRail corporate appearance. This involved the fitting of yellow panels on the front, yellow painted passenger doors and the end carriages receiving yellow paint surround for the benefit of visually impaired passengers.[2] Blue and yellow stripes along the bottom of the carriages were replaced by a single yellow stripe and new style "fuzzy" CityRail logos were placed on the driving cars. In 2010 a program to "refresh" the Tangara interiors was announced. The upgrades include reconfigured seating next to the vestibule area, new seating upholstery and new handrails.[3] The following Tangara carriages have been scrapped due to accident damage: Tangara Motor Cars: N5127, ON5816 and ONL5866 Driving Trailer Cars: D6114, D6127, D6274, OD6831 and OD6832 The following are replacement carriages: D6285 and N5285 are replacing written-off cars D6127 and N5127. D6286 is on set T99 (replacing written-off D6274) D6287 is on set T73 (replacing written-off D6114) D6108 is on set T16 (replacing D6241 for unknown reasons) D6288 is on set T71 (replacing D6108 which is replacing D6241) D6289 is on set T24 (replacing D6148 for unknown reasons) D6184 is on set T37 (repaired set back to normal) OD6841 is currently used in Outer Suburban Tangara set G21 replacing OD6807. For a while, motor car N5127, along with C3866, was used on the Ropes Creek line for training fire fighters. Both were subsequently destroyed by vandals,[4] and were moved to Auburn-Clyde rail yard for either rebuilding or use for spare parts. 4D The Melbourne 4D variant Main article: 4D (train) A train bearing strong resemblance to a Tangara, known as the 4D, was once in use by Connex on the Lilydale and Belgrave lines in Melbourne Australia. It was similar in its shape only as it was of a different gauge and is built to be compatible with Melbourne's Comeng trains. It was not actually a Tangara but was a new-build of a similar design. The 4D stood for "Double Deck Design and Development". If the double-decker train had proved success on these Melbourne suburban train lines, another 19 double decker trains were proposed. By the end of 1992, it was decided not to order any more double decker trains. Despite its frequent breakdowns, the train lasted until early 2002 before its permanent withdrawal from service. The 4D was bought by RailCorp (in 2006) who run the Tangara, but was scrapped on 30 March 2006 at Sims Metal, Brooklyn, Victoria. The Tangara-compatible components and interior fittings were removed before scrapping and are rumoured to have been transferred to Sydney to be used in Tangara trains.
