There was a story on Brisbane news about the noise on the dual guage
line. Apparently somwhere past Buranda the line does an ess kink. This
is genarating a lot of noise and residents are not happy.
The report said it was a design bungle and as a temporary solution rail
authorities are oiling the inside of the rail.
Does anyone know when interstate trains are dur to commece on the PoB
line?
