Re: Melb.Australia Rolling stock

["Roderick Smith" <rodsmith@werple.net.au>]

Press releases suggest doing there own thing, mainly because of
affiliations with different rollingstock manufacturers.

The total disaster is that all predictions are for single-deck trains. 
While it is comprehensible that a UK company (with infrastructure not quite
modified to hold dd trains) would feel that 'if we don't have them in the
mother land, those ruddy colonials shouldn't need them'; a French company
inheriting a line with modified clearances shouldn't hesitate.
