Project status

The NSW Government awarded the contract to deliver the Regional Rail Fleet Project to Momentum Trains in February 2019.

Momentum Trains is an international consortium comprising CAF, UGL Rail Services, Pacific Partnerships, CAF Investment Projects and DIF Infrastructure V Coöperatief.

The contract includes project financing, designing, building, and maintaining the new regional rail fleet as well as designing, building, maintaining and operating the new purpose-built fleet maintenance facility in Dubbo.

Improvements have been made to the initial maintenance facility concept design displayed in the Review of Environmental Factors (REF) in 2018. Design changes are expected on a project of this size and the changes remain consistent with the approved REF.
