These will come from one of the existing models (Alstom's Citadis or CAF's Urbos), but, as of July 2019, no decision had been made on which supplier would be chosen. The vehicles are likely to be in operation no earlier than 2021. There are also suggestions the Citadis trams will be deployed on the Inner West line at some point, subject to "contract limitations" being overcome.<ref>{{cite news |last1=O'Sullivan |first1=Matt |title=Extra trams to ease crowding on Sydney's inner west line still years away |url=https://www.smh.com.au/national/nsw/extra-trams-to-ease-crowding-on-sydney-s-inner-west-line-still-years-away-20190620-p51zix.html |accessdate=3 July 2019 |work=The Sydney Morning Herald |date=2 July 2019}}</ref></ins></div></td></tr>
