these sets will be allocated to suburban services very soon possibly on The T4 line. once the nif sets completed their testing while the deployment date is not known yet, as they will just still continue series of testing up until these nif sets are ready for the deployment on the blue mountains and central coast lines. its really important that the rail testing team that runs these test, does make sure they test all the safety systems/breaking & technology on board these newer sets, so that its safe for passenger service up until they enter service at some point into this year or next year. as the h sets will become a suburban set.

this used to be a brand new build for transit systems as it's region 6 units got a PID display screen onboard to displaying the following stops along the route. but currently of course transit systems had not put them in use yet. as they been working just displaying the Transit systems logo but not fully displaying any route stops. so it's currently not in active mode right now as it turns out. definetly still new, but instead may have use for it in the future. or either transit systems just keeps it as it is. I have no doubt that these optimus buses have good quality built body & features & interior is still looking good. it's the same model that CDC blue mountains transit had received this year.
