10 x 3 car CAF sets vs 14 x 2 car Endeavours, so longer, but potentially less frequent services, unless it is planned to use them more intensively.
The Current Timetable calls for the following Endeavour set Rosters, with an estimate of the New Regional Intercity sets allocated, at that same Level of Service:-
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. Endeavour sets . . .. Regional Intercity (10 x 3car)
South Coast . . . . . . . . . . .. .. .. .. 1 x 2car set . . . . .. 1 x 3car set
Southern Line . . . . . . . . . . .. .. .. 6 x 2car sets . . . . . 6 x 3car sets
Western Line . . . . . . . .. . . .. .. .. 2 x 2car sets . . . . . Nil (provided by changeover sets, including Short & Long Regional sets, to/from Dubbo)
Hunter Line . . . . . . . . . . . . .. .. . 2 x 2car sets . . . . . 1 x 3car set
Repair & Maintenance. . . . . .. .. .. 3 x 2car sets . . . . . 2 x 3car sets
(Note: Endeavour Maintenance sets are allocated: 2 x 2car sets in Sydney, 1 x 2car set in Broadmeadow).
(Note: Regional Maintenance sets are allocated: 2 x 3car sets in Dubbo).
Note: there are 7 x 2car Hunter sets, in the Hunter, 5 x 2car sets are required for the Timetable.
With the withdrawal of Endeavour sets, 6 x 2car Hunter sets would be required.
