True enough for quite some time - I travelled in a TLV when I went to Yaraka
in
1990 - but nowadays the TLV is all but extinct.

You see, they needed underframes to make the GPSE coaches from.......

"My" TLV (1834) is now a sleeping car of some description, and I doubt that
I will ever travel in it again.....

Note for Darryl:  Didn't they pick the TLV underframes because of their
stability?  I wonder how bad the travel would be if they used QLX
underframes? :-)
