- Well yes .. Suburban EMU's are seen as far south as Port Kembla, and at
- least as far north as Gosford.
- The platforms were cut back on the mountains line, so soon Suburban EMU's
- will be able to run as far a Katomba.

- These 'long' runs will probably be taken over by the 'super tangara' when
- they are delivered. The last 10-15 or so sets have been altered to have
- toilets, as people on the longer runs on Suburban EMU's complained that this
- was the biggest problem with the use of the Suburban cars..
- Adding toilets to the Tangara will probably alter the weight distribution
- and these models will break( ie fall apart ..) ) faster than the current
- version...
