Yes, Dudley. I have already been admonished for missing your name. I just don’t remember you being a well-publicised NSW consultant.

Funny that although you are a virtual neighbour just ‘down the road’ at the NSW border, I had to go to Melbourne to actually meet you face to face :-)

Have you been up to ride the tram extension yet?

Regards,

Richard.

Intercity Rail, eh?

I don’t think Sydney’s trams will do 125 MPH. More like 125 Metres Per Hour, at least when nonsensical fiddling around is required
to reverse a tram. Maybe changing to battery traction for a few hundred metres will be faster (if equipped).

By the way, has anything useful at all, besides Howard Collins, ever come to NSW from England?

But that was done by the consultants engaged by TfNSW. Those
consultants were ex British Railways and were experts in Inter City rail
operations!

Obviously nobody bothered to think about the logistics of operation when

These so-called engineers should consider another type of engineering
more in keeping with their abilities - driving trains in America"
