Up to 300 MPH

the train we went on



inside a carriage






what is more the conductor every time he entered the carriage and left he bowed. I can't see that happening with BR. Oh and no click/ clack as the train went along, dead smooth and so quiet

Our trains are exactly the same, no click-clack with welded rail, in fact the only difference is that they do the whole journey at walking pace.


Wollongong to Sydney - 85km - 1hr 40mins (5 minutes longer than the steam trains took)
