| On 22nd January 2018, A42 crashed into the buffer stop at the end of platform 2 at Richmond station, at around 35km/h. The resulting recovery operation took several days as the couplers were damaged. Eventually, the train was transported in sections of 2-3 cars to Cardiff. There had been rumours that the train would be written off, which have since been debunked. In response to the incident, Sydney Trains has introduced a temporary speed restriction of 20 km/h on approach to Richmond station. The train stop attached to the signal controlling access to the platforms will also strike the train if it exceeds 25km/h. After the repairs at Cardiff, A42 was then transferred to UGL Unipart at Auburn for additional repairs, with damaged driving car D6342 being replaced by the prototype's car D6379. A42 re-entered service on March 27th, 2019 Train consist: D6379 — N5342 — N5542 — T6542 — T6642 — N5642 — N5442 — D6442 | |
