The XPT (short for eXpress Passenger Train) is a class of diesel-powered passenger train operated around eastern Australia built by Comeng and ABB. Based on the British Rail-designed High Speed Train (HST), each XPT set comprises a power car on each end and, between them, from four to seven passenger carriages. The XPT was procured following a competitive tendering process, with an initial contract for 30 trainsets, comprising 10 power cars and 20 carriages, in March 1980.
