Maintenance Depots[]
Sydney Trains' electric trains are based at maintenance depots. The colour of target plate at the front of each train shows the depot the train was originally based at. Over the years, many trains have been transferred between depots without changing their target plate colour, so the colours no longer have much meaning.

The following trains are maintained at Mortdale Maintenance Depot:
- T sets on Sector 1 (T4 Eastern Suburbs & Illawarra Line and South Coast Line local services)[1]
- H sets on South Coast Line services[2]
