To all
I though we were discussing the errors?
---
I'm not sure of the comparison between a K and a V, other than V-SETs
rule!!!,
they are much more bloody comfortable (Spent more than enough time on them
last Tuesday!) and I believe are designed with 'cleaner' traction?
Even though comparence between acceleration of a V-SET and a dungeon...I
mean
K-SET is mostly Jargon to me, I believe a V-SET uses AEI 149BY series 190hp
traction motors.
Which, two motors are thrown in to every motor serial bogie (Known aa a JE
bogie) which gives around 760hp per motor car.
On a two car V-SET, a typical motor car has 760hp of Traction.
A 4car set had 1520hp of traction and an 8car set has 3040hp of traction.
Now compare the facts of traction to a K-SET then analyse, though in the
long
term:
"V-SETS RULE THE SYDNEY TRACKS 4EVA!!!!!"
K-SETS are simply nothing useful IN THE OUTER-SUBURBAN AREA other than
economy
class syndrome (DVT) with uncomfortable seats!
(I judge trains by comfort, as most of us would!)

getting back to the error, spotted another mistake in the timetable.
Scanned and uploaded:
