Notes/references

The Adelaide Metro 4000 class, also referred to as A-City trains,^[3] are electric multiple unit trains built by Bombardier Transportation (later Alstom)^[a]^[1] in Dandenong, Victoria for the electrified Adelaide rail network. They are the only class of operational electric trains in South Australia,^[4] running services on the Gawler, Seaford and Flinders lines.

The design shares similarities to the V/Line VLocity and Transperth B-series trains, also built by Bombardier.^[3]
