Re: Suggestions for Brisbane and QR Citytrain

If they were going to operate IMUs to Gatton , Helidon they would need to
build a new feeder station at Wulkuraka. The Corinda feeder station cant
feed all the way out to Helidon and at present only 4 SMUs are allowed
beyond Corinda at any one time, this is because they and the IMUs draw more
current than the EMUs, thats probably why not many SMUs go out that way.
