Trains certainly have great acceleration and between a lot of stations 100
km/ph running is possible.QR 220 class SMU have the quickest take off  of
any train in Australia.On the Robina Line IMU Trains must travel at 140
km/ph to stay on time.Can  any other interurban train in Australia go faster
than this?Not even Japan interurban services travel this fast.
