Notes/references

The New South Wales R sets are a class of bi-mode multiple units (EDMUs) being built to replace NSW TrainLink's Xplorer and XPT fleets for long-distance services, as well as Sydney Trains' Endeavour fleet for diesel intercity services. The fleet is being built by CAF as part of their Civity family of trains. They were known as the Regional Rail Fleet (RRF) during procurement.
