大砲，有朋自遠方來

自2013/7/1起，澳洲的「新南威爾斯州」與「雪梨市」在鐵路交通上面又有重大異動囉！
但其實是換湯不換藥啦！換了營運公司、改了火車Logo。

換言之，將原本的 CityRail 與 CountryLink 易主為 Transport Sydney Trains 與 Transport NSW TrainLink，但不是這麼簡單而已喔！
我還是以圖表說明吧！

在鐵路運輸方面區分為「市郊近程路線」、「城際遠程路線」、「州際長途路線」，分別屬於三家不同的營運單位。
後來「市郊近程路線」、「城際遠程路線」整併至 CityRail 營運。「州際長途路線」仍屬於 CountryLink 營運。
自2013/7/1起，「市郊近程路線」換成 Transport Sydney Trains 營運。而「城際遠程路線」則又再度抽離出並且與「州際長途路線」一併交由 Transport NSW TrainLink 管理。
看得有點霧傻傻吧！不管怎麼換，最後的大老闆還是新南威爾斯州的交通部總管。

Since 1/7/2013 the trains of NSW and Sydney transportation are different！
Actually most operating modes are same, just trains' companies and logos are changed.

In other words, Originally trains were operated by CityRail and CountryLink, now are run by Transport Sydney Trains and Transport NSW TrainLink.
But there is still something different！I illustrate with picture！

All train Lines are differentiated between "suburban", "intercity", and "regional", and those belonged three different operating units.
Then lines "suburban" and "intercity" were combined to CityRail, and lines "regional" were still operated by CountryLink.
Since 1/7/2013 lines "suburban" are run by Transport Sydney Trains, but lines "intercity" are separated from "suburban" unit and combined with lines "regional" together to Transport NSW TrainLink.
Confused？Whatever all operations are managed by NSW Transport.
