>From Railway Digest: QLD premier said " eat your heart out Jeff and Bob Carr"
we got tilt trains! Yeah I'm impressed, we don't have "tilt train" in
Victoria, we do operate at more frequent level but our train doesn't have TV
screen on board.

On the other hand. Do you think Victoria really needs Tilt trains? Obviously
interstates lines to Adelaide and Sydney(or even Canberra) could get a bit
help.

>But I believe our lines is realtively straight, no need tilt the train itself.
>Our trains can runs closed to tilt's average speed without need of such
expansive equipment.
>Sprinters can see the front or the back view without TV!

>We might need to improve a bit for on board equipments and maybe catering
this could be done with relatively low cost.

You can't really compare an apple to a orange!
Any comments?
