Not really - remember that in the UK they have a large business clientele
who regularly use the railways (something which will NOT happen here). If
you have business people potentially using the train, there is incentive to
provide services to entice them to use you, rather than the airline. THis is
probably what is happening with MML.

Not to say that they cannot improve things on Countrylink though.........
