Re: (NSW) - Dapto to Kiama Electrification

Here is more of this M set bullshit.
So you you are going to use wide bodied single/double deckker rolling
stock in tracks that can't handle them for passenger use?
Show me the documentation of the allocation of the leter "M" to the 4GT
so I can update my work manuals.
Or if you want to look like a total moron go to the guys in the
4GT/Mellenium train project and start talking about "M" sets. 

Correct me if I am wrong but wan't it you that made a song and dance
about the Vic Tangara?
