Description: Urbos 3 Services on the Inner West Light Rail are provided by a fleet of twelve Urbos 3 trams. A tender for six trams was awarded to Spanish company Construcciones y Auxiliar de Ferrocarriles (CAF) on 16 August 2012. The trams were ordered to service the Dulwich Hill extension and increase service frequencies. The first tram arrived in Sydney on 19 December 2013 and entered service on 24 July 2014. On 11 October 2013, the Government announced an order for six additional Urbos 3 trams to replace the Variotrams that had been providing services on the Inner West Light Rail since the first section of the line opened in 1997. All trams from the additional order entered service by the end of June 2015. The Urbos 3 trams are approximately 33 metres long and feature two double and two single doors on each side. Seats are generally in the transverse configuration - at 90 degrees to the sides of the vehicle. Digital voice announcements and internal dot-matrix displays provide information about the next stop. The trams are numbered 2112, 2114-2124.
