Farraway, Sam to the Minister for Jobs and Tourism, Special Minister of State, Minister for Roads, Minister for the Arts, and Minister for Music and the Night-time Economy representing the Minister for Regional Transport and Roads

(1) In what month in 2023 will the Mariyung fleet be in service on the Western line?
Answer -

I am advised

Poor management by the former Liberal-National government led to significant time and cost over runs on the overseas built regional rail fleet. The Spanish-built Regional Rail Fleet is publicly reported to be more than three years late and more than $1 billion over budget, under the previous government. The Korean-built Mariyung Fleet was due to enter service in late 2019. It was reported under the previous government that cost overruns could exceed $1 billion.

A timeline for their delivery will be confirmed once the testing and assurance phase of the rollingstock is complete.
