Re: Sydney Intercity trains being delivered don't fit tracks

I wonder if they are going to lengthen Zig Zag and Wondabyne platforms?

I suppose that these mods were required to bring the whole network to the same kinematic outline, really it was pity that it was not done the 1950s.

Also in the budget process the various elements that are third party enhancements for other business units, Govt, departments, etc are lumped in with the project in question - eg the new tram line in Sydney - what is the true cost of the tramway and how much has gone into gold plated service renewals for various utilities, many of which may not have been needed and what was the cost of various urban renewal works that were slipped in?

On the V set replacement project one interesting fix to watch will be the ZZ tunnels, it is not just the walls that are a problem, as I understand it the floors are a problem again.

Wish they would that the image of the SBB train off the link as it might shows quality and we might we get that sort of quality.

Depressed again by the nongs who run the show.
