GSR wants to get the run down under 10 hours, preferable 8 hours. You'd
need 160km/h running for long stretches to do that.

The sensible step would be to order 2 more XPT sets (plus spares) for
Countrylink, and then for GSR to lease them for the Melbourne - Adelaide
run. Each arrival in Melbourne from Sydney could then run on to Adelaide,
and each arrival from Adelaide can run on to Sydney. The interworking
would be very simple.
