Nobody has developed a double deck tilt train..... yet! Watch this space.

Why would we have to have a double deck tilt train?  A genuine intercity
service with set down say at Morriset , Broadmeadow and Newcastle running at
an hourly frequency would not need anywhere near the capacity of 6 or 8 DD
V-set.  I would have thought a tilt train with 300 passenger capacity would
be sufficient.
