With International Terminal being bad for overshoots UTS Ku-ring-gai has the
potential to be a screamer for down trains in 2006 (unless appropriate
braking markers are used and observed).

2.4km of 1 in 35 (?) falling grade, 1.4 km of it in a single track tunnel
(no obvious landmarks?) on a constant 800-900m radius curve (allowing
115km/h running).

Maybe S/K/R/V/(C?) sets will be banned from the Parramatta Rail Link (or
whatever more sensible name it's given in due course) like single deckers
were from the ESR from day one.  Tangaras and Millenium sets will be needed
to make full use of the all stations/fast runs/heavy grade features.
