You never know who you'll meet on the train...

This story is a tribute to my favourite Aussie-built passenger train, known as the NSW V-Set. Newly retired from service on the 30th of January, 2026, the New South Wales V-Set is a fleet of double-deck, fully air-conditioned, interurban/intercity passenger trains & was built by Australian rail transit manufacturer, Commonwealth Engineering (otherwise known as Comeng) in the Sydney suburb of Granville, NSW in the 1970's. This article will serve as both a memento & a complete guide to the V-Set & its history on Sydney's extensive interurban/intercity rail system & will also include photos & videos.
