1REGIONAL RAIL FLEET (NSW) – RECOMMENDATIONS FOR WA
Executive Summary
The report is based on the discussion over the various risks that are approaching the project
during the course of the design of the new fleet of trains. These risks might hamper the project
and might lead to improper service delivery. In the present project, the discussion is focused over
the fact that the NSW Government has provided the major responsibility to Momentum Trains
for designing a plan and thus plan for the best technical plan that would be implemented for the
project. The discussed risks also put focus over the project and the ways in which they could
impact the project. The report also discusses about the recommendations that could be applied to
the project in order to mitigate the risk scenarios.

1. Introduction
The case study is focused on the works of the NSW Government, which is in the process
of replacing the NSW regional fleet of XPLORER, XPT and Endeavour Trains that have
included the trains that have been 36 years old. The new train would be mainly be built in Dubbo
would be helpful for stimulating the economy of the region and would help in the creation of
various skills and sustainable job opportunities. These services would be for the customers who
travel from the region of Sydney to different regional centres of NSW (Regional Rail Transport
for NSW, 2019). The newly designed trains would help in improving of comfort, safety of
passengers, reliability and accessibility in Brisbane, Canberra and Melbourne.
The project based on the development of the new railway coaches based within Regional
Rail Fleet has been contracted to Momentum Trains. Momentum Trains is considered as one of
the international consortium that comprises of UGL Rail Services, DIF Infrastructure V
Cooperatief and CAF Investment projects. The new railway coaches would include several
features such as comfortable and functional design that would also incorporate spacious buffet
cars, reversible seating and a suitable luggage storage system (New Intercity Fleet Transport for
NSW, 2019). The business development contract that is been executed by Momentum Trains is
mainly responsible for planning, designing the project outlines and also maintain the newly
constructed trains. The project would start in the year 2019 and is thus expected to be completed
by the year 2023.
