The solution to the toilet problem is simple: Problem: The two centre cars of the train are designated as wheelchair accessible cars. Wheelchair passengers from one car can access the toilet, but the ones from the other car cannot make it around the toilet to get to the door. (The toilet is located in the centre of the train). Solution: Just rotate the car with the toilet in it to face the other direction so all the wheelchair passengers can get to it. This solves all the problems except for the size of the toilet, which can be solved just by making the whole thing bigger and the path around the side narrower, now that no one is expected to have to make it around. Note: Wheelchair passengers can currently make it between all the cars, the only thing they cannot make it around is the toilets.
It's a good question. Main reasons are due to the extreme high cost and politicians comparing high speed rail with air travel. Also many Australians have never experienced high speed rail like Shinkansen or KTX so it's difficult idea to sell politically. I think it will happen one day but we need a political party who can effectively sell the idea to the public. I think doing a simple run between Sydney city and Newcastle might be a good start.
i dont really have any complaints other than the seats, im a smaller human so i seat perfectly fine in them, they do seem a bit squishy though, but the seats holy crap theyre hard and awkward and uncomfortable

I love those NGRs
And all Queenslanders will rue this day. Horrible trains from a horrible government.
Gott hand it to the newman government, they fucked up so much that we only recently were able to solve the issues
Blame newman he ordered them

We need high speed rail
Why can’t we have a shinkansen?

The seats are ass breakers, I usually stand up.
The old trains didn't even have toilets, so yeah deal with it really
Lucas Giles you’re right, they just want to have a whinge.
So? Add a toilet. Simple enough.
If that is the only positive then wow
@@trainingtheworld5093 because they are crap.
Only the IMU and ICE trains had toilets back then. The SMU and EMU sets never had them.
i mean just take a shit b4 u go
I advoid them like the plague .
