>I meant 50kph over:((
A few months ago [probably about 30] I was trying to stay in front of the
XPT near Craigeburn with little luck, as I needed to slow the Sprinter for
the curve beyond the station!
The XPT driver must have forgotten his curve Speed, and was equally intent
on passing me....now I am not saying he was 50 kph over it, but not all XPT
Drivers do 130 in Victoria, and thats a fact! and I am equally sure that his
over speed on this curve was an accident!!
