 | This article needs to be updated. The reason given is: Since July 2024, Sydney Trains has apparently taken over the operations of intercity non-booked/Opal services from NSW TrainLink - this still requires a reliable source confirming that this has indeed occurred; a proposal published before 1 July is not sufficient evidence to satisfy Wikipedia guidelines on WP:RS and WP:OR.

Sydney Trains is the operator and brand name of the principal train network serving the Greater Sydney metropolitan area in New South Wales, Australia. The network is a hybrid urban-suburban rail system with a central underground core that covers 369 km (229 mi) of route length over 813 km (505 mi) of track, with 170 stations on eight lines.[1]
Centred around an underground core, the network has frequencies of 5–10 minutes off-peak at most inner-city and major stations and 15 minutes off-peak at most minor stations. During the weekday peak, train services are more frequent.[2]
The network is managed by Transport for NSW and is part of its Opal ticketing system. In 2018–19, 377.1 million passenger journeys were made on the network, making it the most-used rail network in Australia.
