Maintenance Depots

Sydney Trains' electric trains are based at maintenance depots. The colour of target plate at the front of each train shows the depot the train was originally based at. Over the years, many trains have been transferred between depots without changing their target plate colour, so the colours no longer have much meaning.

Mortdale Maintenance Depot (Red)

The following trains are maintained at Mortdale Maintenance Depot:

T sets on Sector 1 (T4 Eastern Suburbs & Illawarra Line and South Coast Line local services)[1]
H sets on South Coast Line services[2]

The out stabling and depot points for Sector 1 include Cronulla, Waterfall and Bondi Junction.

Flemington Maintenance Depot (Blue)

The following trains are maintained at Flemington Maintenance Depot:

K sets on Sector 2 (T2 Inner West & Leppington, T3 Bankstown and T8 Airport & South lines)[3]
V sets (Blue Mountains Line and Central Coast & Newcastle Line services)

The out stabling and depot points for Sector 2 include Macdonaldtown, Campbelltown, Liverpool and Leppington.

The following trains are maintained at Hornsby Maintenance Depot:

T sets on Sector 3 (T9 Northern and T1 North Shore & Western lines) and special event services on the T7 Olympic Park line[4]
