Power to the sets is supplied by the form of a Dual
Power Supply . Generally Head End Power (HEP) from a
N Class locomotive will power the cars, however, if
the Program Logic Controller (a component of the
Dual Power Supply system) doesn't detect HEP from a
locomotive, or if there's a technical problem with
the HEP being supplied, the individual diesel
alternators under the carriages automatically start
up and provide power to the cars.
Each N Set has a snack bar-
in the BRN car, three toilets (one per carriage),
and a conductors van which also has sufficient
luggage space (at the rear of the
ACN Car).
Wheelchairs can be placed just in front of the
buffet module in the BRN car.
N sets can be seen on all
V/Line Pass. interurban and intercity line services,
including Geelong, Warrnambool, Ballarat, Bacchus
Marsh, Bendigo, Traralgon, Sale, Swan Hill,
Bairnsdale, Albury & Shepparton trains.
Additional 'N', 'Z' & 'S'
type carriages can be added to them to increase
seating capacity.
Currently, there are six
three car N Sets, with all of them being in the
current V/Line Red/White/Blue livery- with the
present V/Line logo.
