Re: 4Th Generation CityRail Trains

Come on there must be some details available.  What is it based on and has
it got Mitsubushi train control and motive power systems like all other
CityRail cars?

At least we know from Goninan's parent Company's reporting of the massive
losses (Howard Smith's $25-30 million write-offs from bottom line in the
past couple of months) to do with the troubled operations, that it was not a
rebadged Tangara.

The stranglehold on CityRail train supply appears to have been broken.
Clyde/EDI are reportedly a lower cost, better value supplier with better and
more exiting product.    About time there was more than one baskets for our
eggs.
