Hmm... I’m gonna have to go with the Millennium trains. I love the really cool looking Internal Destination Indicators, simple design (especially the doors) and the beautiful brand new (at the time of release) interiors. They really were, just like the ads said, nearly everything you could ask for back then.

Obsessed with Trains It's because they need to modernise the system apparently, as the new fleet will likely be faster and more comfortable. Sadly, they have to upgrade tracks and stations on the Blue Mountains Line, as these trains are much wider than V Sets.

@dethuponianproductions6377 incorrect. The 2 car V sets had 1 motor car and 1 driving trailer car just like the 2 car suburban "T" sets, which later became the L sets to free up the T set designation for the Tangara sets. The DKM motor cars were the last motor cars to be built with pantographs in 1989.

My experiences with the V sets have been rather positive, even considering their age. They seem rather quite from both the inside and outside with rather lavish interiors. It's interesting that they were manufactured for nineteen years, at the same time as many trains from different generations. Some of those trains, such as the S sets, XPTs and Tangaras, also represent major leaps and changes in trains design.

The V class multiple units have provided comfortable and largely safe transport for many years. They're due for replacement with update mechanicals, but from the look of things, the replacement sets will be providing a lower level of passenger comfort and amenity.

The only scheme that superseded the Blue Goose and Candy schemes was the blue and yellow "Intercity" scheme and it was superseded with the Hungry Jack's inspired "cheeseburger" scheme. You can't say that the "Citydecker" or blue "Central Coast" candy schemes superseded anything because only a handful of cars wore those colours, like the grey and yellow fronts. Only the late DIM, DJM & DKM cars wore the Candy scheme being built in the SRA era. I personally loved that Candy front with the yellow interiors.

I remember that the first batch of V sets were originally called U sets, like the single-deck trains that came before them, had five row windows on upper-lower decks on all power and trailer cars, slightly different interior, mild-steel under frames started rusting overtime which lead to they’re withdrawn in 2006 and had mechanical issues which lead to these first batch cars being trailer cars with DTM cars powering them by the early 1980s.

They need to be different as they have a very different role. They go much further out, journeys of 2-3 hours. They also have to deal with narrow, serpentine and steeply graded track in the mountains, and share track with lots of freight and XPT traffic on the Newcastle line. That said, the air con is anaemic at best and the fixed arm rests are always fun :(
