	Millennium train - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Millennium train "M" Set is CityRail's (Sydney) newest member of the electric fleet (4th generation train), manufactured by EDi Rail, in Newcastle.
		The Millennium train, like the Tangara, is a four-car consist, with the middle two cars being non-control motor cars and the two outer cars being driving control trailer cars fitted with the pantograph.
		The Millennium train is equipped with an AC drive system, whereas the Tangara has a DC drive system (except G7, which was scrapped after the Waterfall train disaster on 31 January 2003).

	Print Article: How our new train went off the rails
		The Millennium had become a millstone for Scully, exposing him to inevitable ridicule given that the train's very name served as a constant reminder of how late it was.
		Costa revealed the train was still bedevilled by the electrical problem, effectively turning all the train traffic lights in the city underground to red as it passed through.
		IT IS July 2003, the signalling problem has been fixed and the Millennium train is back in service, although it spent most of April in the sheds and various sets have been in and out of the engineering labs ever since.

		There are three trains, which can all operate on the circuit at once, one each of red, blue and yellow.

		On 10 April 2003, the Coordinator General of Rail withdrew the fleet of four, eight-carriage trains from service following the identification of a number of technical difficulties that were impacting on the reliability of the CityRail network.
		On 2 June 2003, RailCorp announced the progressive return of the Millennium train to revenue service to enable ongoing assessment of their performance.
		Since the reintroduction of the Millennium train, further technical issues have been identified, requiring a comprehensive action plan to be implemented by RailCorp and the train’s contractor, EDI Downer.

		If you've ever felt the frustration of waiting for a train to arrive, spare a thought for the NSW Government, which is still waiting for the Millennium train to really hit its straps nearly nine years after the project was first announced.
		The train is being manufactured at EDI Rail's plant at Cardiff, near Newcastle.
		NSW's Millennium train has become famous for all the wrong reasons but CityRail must still be hoping it will eventually take its place among the pantheon of great modern rail systems around the world.

		Tuesday 17 June 2003, 8:05 PM The NSW Auditor-General rushed out a report on the besieged Millennium train project showing a $100 million cost blowout and more than 500 ignored defects, as another two trains were pulled from the tracks.
		Auditor-General Bob Sendt was to have tabled his report on the beleaguered high-tech trains on Thursday, but the opposition beat him to it when it released the draft version.
		Premier Bob Carr admitted the cost blowout, but maintained the Millennium trains were still a good deal and said safety had never been compromised.

		I reflected that at least this 19th Century train was running on time, was cheap, and you could get a seat.
		People in the slate districts of north Wales treasure the memory of the cultured quarrymen whose breaks from their labours in their hillside 'caban' would be filled with literary discussions and exercises in Welsh poetry.
		In an echo of that memory, the Millennium Centre's slate is inscribed by the sculptor Ieuan Rees with a couplet from the 15th Century poet Guto'r Glyn, a couplet which makes mention of slate as a building product to be treasured.

		Now the Millennium Train (or the Millennium Bug as its become known to New South Wales train spotters) is a shocker for the Government.
		The Opposition seized on the fact that the Auditor-General's report shows that 530 faults in the Millennium Train were apparently disregarded at the stroke of a pen to get it up and running, and that there was a $110 million blowout in the $500 million plus budget.
		It's estimated that the cost of maintaining the new trains, which are a fraction of the total rolling stock, will be just less than the cost of maintaining the rest of the fleet.

		The Millennium Cogeneration Project, which is to be owned and operated by TransAlta, is currently being constructed in conjunction with a major expansion of the Suncor Plant (the 'Project Millennium'), which will see the synthetic crude oil production capacity of the Suncor Plant double to 210,000 barrels per day (or 'bpd').
		The integration of the Millennium Cogeneration Project (to be owned by TransAlta) must be considered both in a context of coordinating its construction along side the contemporaneous construction of Suncor's Project Millennium as well as the coordination of its ongoing operation with the expanded Suncor Plant.
		The Millennium Cogeneration Project also required certain additional operational arrangements between the host and the cogeneration developer/owner because of the manner in which the project is being incorporated into the Suncor Plant.

		Mr Collison said there would be no guarantee that the roll out of new Millennium Trains would not be affected by the industrial action.
		"Its regrettable that the new trains may be delayed by the action at Bathurst, but it has been EDI Management's refusal to negotiate in good faith that has led to this impasse," he said.
