I do not know why that set is targeted L8 for because there is no driving
trailer in the consist to make it divisible. It could have been Set R32
which you saw because it has four power cars and two trailers and most of
the cars in that consist where refurbished in the Citydecker program at
Elcar some years ago.

At the moment on the Illawarra there is a 6 car set made up of Set L1 and R2
consisting of 6 cars.
