NSW's aging rail fleet seems to be in better condition than first thought.
Breakdowns have dropped 20 per cent since 2005.
Transport Minister John Watkins says that means more passengers aren't left waiting.
“Because some of those trains are old we do have a reasonable number of mechanical break-downs every month, however that is reducing and that’s the good news.”
“The impact on our on-time running is improving all the time,” he said.
