H Type Carriages are refurbished Harris type suburban motor and trailer carriages.

Refurbished between 1984 and 1990, there are several types of H cars, these being :-

Short BCH Cars, Short BH Cars, Short BIH Cars, Short BTH Cars (most common)

Long BCH Cars, Long BH Cars, Long BTH Cars (two of each type in service)

Short Van BCH Cars (two in service)

H type carriages are exclusively used on short distance interurban services, in which their economy seating and standing capacities allow more commuters to fit on each train than that of an N set.

There are four types of sets H cars are marshalled in - three car SH sets, four car FSH sets, four car FLH sets and five car VSH sets.

Originally fifteen sets in total, there are fourteen H type sets in use with V/Line at present.
The missing set, SH35, was split in 1999 to free up carriages to add to other sets and to form five car set VSH29.
