They'll last 1 year maybe two,
We'll see...
Boeing must have given them one hell of a deal foranoperation like >>>> that to afford brand new Maxs
Hardly surprising that Boeing would do that and it
might see them do better than the opposition who
have to pay much more for the aircraft they use.
The State government have new upgrades to faster morecomfortable beer
serving country trains coming next year.
So more competition for regional airlines
Not convinced. There is a radical difference in the trip
times and so its only really the povs who use the trains.
We only get the train for the full trip twice a week, its train
to Coota or Wagga and then a bus for the rest of the trip
on the other trips and the bus stops in even the smallest
town en route so its a pretty fucked trip.
<https://www.transport.nsw.gov.au/projects/current-projects/regional-rail> >> Next year The NSW Government is replacing the ageing NSW regional rail
fleet of XPT, XPLORER and Endeavour trains with 29 safer, comfortable
and more accessible trains for customers travelling across NSW and
between, Sydney, Canberra, Melbourne and Brisbane.
29 isnt enough to provide even a daily service to most regional towns.
As part of the Regional Rail project, we are also constructing a
newpurpose-built maintenance facility in Dubbo.

So Rod Speed will be able to get to Sydney quicker than driving
Nope, driving is still faster and and Rex and QantasLink vastly faster
than both and a decent choice of 10 flights a day each way too.
Not so great for Melburg tho.
The new Regional trains are designed for a speed of 160km/h, which is
no faster than the XPTs they will replace, they are described as
“scalable to 200km/h”, though it is unclear what this means? I would
guess at 200Km/h they officially can then be called VFT's.
The main thing needed for a four hour trip from Griffith to Sydney is
replacing the track with modern rail lines, this is claimed to be
being done? But seems shared for Freight so that is why a present two
times a week schedule
“We expect these upgrades to be completed by the end of the year, just
before Christmas.”
Fixing Country Rail is a $400 million program unlocking the economic
potential of regional NSW by upgrading rail lines to deliver more
effective rail freight movement. So far 33 projects have been funded
through Fixing Country Rail.
So get onto your Snout and trotters in trough to push.
