    The Jail House Special run!
    Impressive trip. I had you gett'in along around the mile a minute in places (Ballan - Ballarat - Beaufort). Compliments to you and the track staff.
    I've travelled the St Pancras - Paris Channel Tunnel line 375 KOH) and that was a lot quiter than the noise in your office.
    I wonder if a more pointy nose, ala Japanese style, and some track angling on curves, might improve top speed to 200kph.

      @@davidholder3207 the line speed to Ballarat is mostly 160kph and 130kph after that. The high speed trains overseas would be impressive to ride. 🤔👍 Very happy you enjoyed the video 👍 😀

    It absolutely astounds me how much of this has been redeveloped in the last 25 years, do you have any videos already online or that you might be able to upload? They would have Melbourne to Ballarat prior to RFR

      Oh that sucks. Yesterday I tried to measure the speed on the train to Ballarat and the GPS wasn't working properly and there isn't a lot of speed limit sign (In Queensland, speed limit sign is everywhere so it is easy to guess the train speed)
