Well it looks pretty dreadful, but most users of 620 class are more
interested in what's inside. I can't believe that the comfort level has
advanced beyond 1970 standard. Where is the air-conditioning,
comfortable seats, soundproofing etc. 

When I moved to Muswellbrook in 1987 the train service had been 
suspended due to the upgrading works. It was later reinstated using a
620 set. Was this progress?
