Sydney Trains and Transport Heritage NSW are retiring the C Sets. All 56 carriages are planned to go to scrap. This means that an important part of Sydney's Rail History, the first Chopper Control trains, will not be preserved.

Even if maintenance cost would be too high, it would still be worth keeping a C Set for a potential museum display, or in case they were to restore it in the future.

Though they may seem unimportant, the C Sets were significant for the Sydney Network, being the first trains with Chopper Control, and now, the first electric train to not have any of its kind preserved.
