NGR 3

NGR passenger services commenced in December 2017 with the final multiple units entering service in December 2019. The new trains have replaced an ageing fleet and increased fleet capacity by 26 per cent, enabling the network to meet growing demand. Commuters are benefiting from safer, modern and more efficient trains with less overcrowding, and improved comfort and travel times.
