Top speed of QR Tilt Train

["David Ryder" <daver@fastinternet.net.au>]

I have just been speaking with a friend in QR who makes a habit of being up
to date about things.

I asked him casually what the top speed attained by the tilt train was
during try outs.

He said 211 kph and was very definite about it.

And in service ?    Well actually, about 175  on the best sections of track
but really it could be going faster.

And it is being very well patronized.
