Thought so - just home for footy training, so I am in the same condition
then as I was when I posted the original post.

The CityRal site seems to depict the 'C' set cars as being driving trailers
and non-driving motors. I always thought they were driving motors and
non-driving trailers, despite the pantographs being on the trailers.

So the entire CityRail website WRT "c: sets" seems to be totally off the
mark.

probably won't either.
