Re: [Qld] Country Alliance cant see logic in rail plan

["James C" <noemail@emailsux.com>]

If the Diesel tilt train have sleeper carriages, the service will still be
attractive enough to passengers, where as Sunlander and Queenslander, if
both given further refurbishment to more luxury state (say a end observation
car, or dome?) or extend the service to Gold Coast, or Sydney then cut price
airlines would do no damages at all.
