The Chips is a passenger train that operates over the Blue Mountains between Lithgow and Sydney.
The name has been applied to various Blue Mountains services over the years and today is a commuter service from Lithgow to Sydney operated by V sets.
Following electrification of the Main Western line in 1958, it was operated by U set single-deck electric trains. These in turn were replaced by double-deck V sets.
It is complemented by another service, The Fish.
According to the current timetable,[1] The Fish leaves Lithgow at 5:08 am, reaches Mt Victoria at 5:37 am and arrives Sydney at 7:47 am. The Chips leaves Lithgow at 5:38 am, reaches Mt Victoria at 6:07 am and arrives Sydney at 8:17 am.
