Typical Mountains Commuter

            An eight-car V set climbs away from Sydney and into the Blue Mountains. 

Typically the city skyline can be seen in the background of this scene, but on this day it was hidden by smoke from bushfires near Ruined Castle in Katoomba.

While this may be a common scene today, a new intercity fleet is expected to enter service in the coming years. Testing of the new intercity trains, which are expected to replace the V Sets, has commenced.
