@kbahboh I disagree, i think intercity trains are more comfortable than Tangara. Also Tangaras are always crowded so its hard to get a seat but intercity are usually remote areas so there are less people
yea intercity train's dont have much passenger's but im talking about the seat's like as im an intern @ Bankstown hospital and most of my shift's are night shift's when i do take a train into the City at 1 am home the trains are absolutely empty which causes me to wish for a Tangara lol.
the T sets were designed for Suburban working with seating thru out the train, The G sets were for the "inter Urban" trips to Wyong, Blue mountains or Wollongong - these had 1 toilet per 4 cars and the seats were reversable (and some different crew controls as well) - since the H sets (OSCAR) sets have been introduced the G sets are being retrofitted to standard seating for suburban workings with some of the T sets being upgraded to match the seating (without the reversable seats)
The Tangara (t or G sets) would have to be the best looking metro rollingstock I've ever seen. The noise they make when setting off or slowing down is mad as well.
You observe the front chin section of the train. You can note that the G-set has a lower front section that is swept back (as shown by the first set and leading car) . The t-set however has a completely flat lower chin section (as illustrated by the trailing set and car 8). I know this is slightly vague as I am not familiar with Australian Rolling Stock Terminology, but I hope this helps.
Tangara trains are the most comfortable trains in the whole CityRail system
