The much-loved sets will be officially retired on Friday night, making way for the growing fleet of Waratahs.
Part of Sydney’s fabric for over 30 years, news of a final journey will be bittersweet for many, especially those who operated or travelled on the sets in the 80’s and 90’s.

“A great deal of the information is common sense, but it won’t hurt anyone to read over it,” said Vicky.
“Being clear on how to manage certain situations is vitally important and the SAFER approach that we’ve detailed in the document will assist you in this regard.”

After 40 years with Sydney Trains, Leppington Driver Greg Hunter has announced his retirement.
Officially taking the controls for the final time on 5 July, Greg calls time on a role he aspired to filling at 18-years of age.
“I always wanted to be a Train Driver, but when I started with the business in 1979 I was under the minimum age to drive,” said Greg.
“Like most from that era, I started on stations and shortly became a Guard.
“In 1997, I then finally realised the dream and became a Driver.”
