Re: XPT Melb - Adelaide?

["Peter Berrett" <pberrett@optushome.com.au>]

I too love the Overland but to be honest it is slooooooooooooooow.

Given that Adelaide is only 7-8 hours drive from Melbourne I'd prefer to see
a comfortable speedy service. If they could find a way to make it run at 100
mph that would be ideal.

cheers Peter
