All are equipped with the BUSE information system, with the exception of Tatra T3 2041-2042 and KT8D5 2114 and a majority have been equipped with air conditioning. A majority of the cars run in pairs of two.

The system is operated with standard gauge tracks, with a one way current of 600 V. All cars were regauged from metre to standard gauge upon arrival in Newman, with the exception of 2095-2104 which came with standard gauge trucks directly from the Tatra factory as specified by Newman. The numbering pattern of the cars changes depending on the model - the K2s and T3s were numbered in the order that they arrived in Newman, while the T6A5s and KT8D5s were numbered in the order that they were built.
