Which is interesting in itself, because I hear that one company requires
it's trains to run 80,000km per year, while the other requires 120,000km
per year, and from all accounts, Comeng's won't run 120,000km per year,
their reliability is not good enough.  Could this be the explanation to
the above - is one braking configuration significantly lower maintenance
than the other?
