And the trains that were ordered,came from somewhere overseas and didn't comply in many areas,particularly WH&S,but they were cheap.[bighmmm]

Eventually the next Govt spent millions of $ modifying them,and trying to sort the issues.[biggrin]

Or a very black one once the Chairman of the board arranges mates to drag him through the tunnel at the end of a rope.

Have they not heard of Tunnel/Loading Gauges?[bighmmm]

Different trains Scarry is talking about Brisbane which had a problem with the roof mounted a/c's fitting through the tunnels.

The trains referred to are the driverless trains out to Richmond , Kellyville etc.
They are made by Canadian company Bombadier in India and are identical to the Delhi mass transit trains.
AFAIK they have not given much trouble.
Although I can tell you that it is a cultural experience in not queuing in transit hubs like Rajiv Chown. My wife was propelled half way along a carriage corridor by the race to board.
