The Hunter Diesel Multiple Units entered service from 2006 to 2007. Each set consists of two carriages. They operate on the Hunter line between Newcastle Interchange, Maitland, Dungog and Scone. Their introduction led to the withdrawal of the 620/720 Class, which had previously operated local passenger services in the Newcastle area. Although the Hunter cars have the ability to operate with Xplorer and Endeavour cars, this does not occur in general service.
