If they attach to Bizzy-Sydney freight+Sydney-Adelaide freight you
might get to see QR spark.....I wish Hillside/Bayside CEO can get to
see them also, I reckon SMU2 is the best suburban rollingstock
currently in use. Comfortable seats(Unlike Tangara)fully carpet, with
huge panorama windows and seats are adjust to windown position(unlike
Comeng) and of course airconditioning, and are the most quiet suburban
train I ever known. I hope our Siemens EMUS and Alstom EMUs coming up
would be just as good.

Transperth borrowed some SX during American cup few years back, this
won't be the 1st time QR rollingstock run on WA tracks, I was wondering
if Transperth can handle a 6 carriage SMU2 set instead of the usual 4
carriages set?

Cheers
