1REGIONAL RAIL FLEET (NSW) – RECOMMENDATIONS FOR WA
Executive Summary
The report discusses about the different kind of imminent risks that could approach to the project
based on the development of new trains. The project is concerned for the development of new
trains that would be helpful for the NSW Government. The responsibility for the project has been
undertaken by Momentum Trains and they are designing the entire project. The report discusses
about the various forms of risks, the response elements and the risk management plan that needs
to approached for mitigating the risks. The report also discusses about the recommendations that
should be implemented within the project for helping the project to mitigate the risk scenarios
and thus generate profits for the organisation.

1. Introduction
In this paper, the main topic of study is based on the NSW regional fleet development
documents are studied. From the analysis over the case study, it has been seen that the NSW
government has initiated a project based on replacing the ageing NSW regional fleet that was
based on XPLORER, XPT and Endeavour trains. The current trains that are facilitated are mostly
36 years old. The NSW Government is on the process of creating a new train maintenance
facility, which would be built in Dubbo in order to stimulate the regional economy and thus help
in creating infrastructure for the purpose of creating new job skills and opportunities (Regional
Rail Transport for NSW, 2019). With the facilitation of new trains for the area, it has been
estimated that the new trains would help in improving the comfort, accessibility, reliability and
safety of the customers who would travel from Sydney to different other regional countries in
NSW, Melbourne, Brisbane and Canberra.
In order to develop the project based on Regional Rail Fleet, the NSW Government has
majorly delivered the contract to Momentum Trains. The contract mainly includes different
aspects of the project such as designing a plan, building, maintaining and thus also operate the
new purpose of fleet maintenance facility in Dubbo region (New Intercity Fleet Transport for
NSW, 2019). The initiation of the project would begin from 2019 and the initial fleet of trains
would be expected to run by the year 2023. The full fleet of trains would initiate their service in a
progressive manner.
