New South Wales K set
Retired class of electric multiple unit operated in Sydney, Australia
New South Wales K set
The New South Wales K set is a class of double-decker electric multiple unit trains (EMUs) that formerly operated on Sydney's suburban railway network. Built by A Goninan & Co, the K sets first entered service in 1981 operating under the State Rail Authority, and later CityRail and Sydney Trains before being retired from service in October 2026. The first set entered service as 8 car R1 (not used for 6 car trains until 1984). When R sets later started to include sets made up of older Comeng and Goninan stock, the newer Goninan sets were retargeted as K sets and later reduced to four cars. The carriages are of stainless steel, double deck construction and share much of their design with the older S sets. In June 2026, the K sets were temporarily suspended from service due to vandalism and security-related concerns. The K sets received a farewell tour for their final regular timetabled service from 28 September–2 October and ran a farewell service on 5 October for the Transport Heritage Expo.
