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

Many of the platforms in the electrified network are too short for
current 8 car trains, some even for (now abolished) 6 car trains. If
they can manage these, the slightly longer new trains shouldn't be an
issue.

With good internal PIDs it should be easy to regulate passengers to
appropriate carriages,

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.
