Many of you replied to my post a few weeks ago about high speed rail in
australia very kindly with lots of useful information about the XPT, thank
you very much for that.
One question still remains, the XPT is based partly at least on the British
IC 125. However, the British train has a top speed of 200km/h the XPT
160km/h. Seeing as the XPT came after the IC 125 it would seem that it was
downgraded. If this is the case, why was it downgraded?
