Clocked an express from Gawler Central to Adelaide at 101kph at it's peak, 
while I was there a couple of months ago. Speed noted via GPS (Quite 
accurate after the removal of Selective Availability (SA)).

One thing Adelaide do well is not running any empty trains. Even if the 
trains run express, they still take passengers. Melbourne should take note.
