The decision is pending, but the plan promises 500 permanent jobs and 780 during construction, anchoring local manufacturing for decades. Premier Minns is making a bold political statement, countering claims that NSW can’t build its own trains — and insists at least half the new fleet will be made locally. This isn’t the first promise: back in 2022, he pledged 1,000 jobs and recently approved a $450 million plan to extend the life of aging 1987 Tangaras (scheduled for retirement in 2027). But this is just the beginning — the Millennium and OSCAR fleets will follow in the 2030s, with Waratahs in the 2040s, setting up a massive, long-term public transport and manufacturing overhaul.
