How about some refurbisment with a/c install and better front end to
attract passenegrs??

There are older suburban trains running around the world where
refurbishments keep them going for longer with update technology.

I hope they will replace something with tilt mechanism install in order
to run in those difficult area. Also I hope to have wool reclining
seats install if is possible:-), something similar to either XPT or
V/line's N set, with some LED passenger information.

They were investigating tilt train replace V set when X2000 visit
Sydney few years back. But they found out(I think it's not ture) tilt
train wouldn't help much and more line upgrade/improvement is needed in
order to fullfill tilt train's preformance.

Interurban routes train should really comparative comfort to long
distance trains, not just slight improvements to Suburban trains, I
would design the replacement for V set with something comfortable with
a small buffet, running time highly competitive with driving and
regional airlines, maybe a first class section with laptop/phone etc.
