Non from me in the first run, there is a nearby railway, however it is closed down for good now and half of the track have been ripped up.

Yeah, thats them. They were the "new trains" until the state govt. tried to get everyone to ride on the millenium trains (which break down more thna MY trains in TT. They are having fun trying to convince us taxpayers why we are footing the bill for such rubbish...

Here, have some "official" drawings of the Tangaras

the tangaras are my favourite suburban trains, they look cool, and if u sit on the bottom level, the only thing u can see out the window is people's feet on the train stations

are the millenium trains the light railway that goes around darling harbour to central station?

Raichase · Post by **Raichase** » 15 Dec 2003 12:38

Nah, the millenium trains are the new trains, like the Tangara, only better. They are supposed to replace the old "Tulloch" coach sets that have been around since the early 50's (1952 if memory serves me correctly), and were pulled by steam engines!

mothing local around here but when I lived in south florida we had these....

miami had these bus thingies with rubber tires that ran on a kinda/sorta monorail system

Me_Simon · Post by **Me_Simon** » 15 Dec 2003 13:01

hey those bus thingies, that runs on monorail thingies are in adelaide, they supposedly go through the suburbs of adelaide on the bus transit way (some kind of traintrack/road or railroad [

] ) and then go on the normal roads in the city, well the queensland rail website is down so this is the best pic i can get

its the roma street train station in brisbane, the transit/long distance station; but currently only has two suburban trains in the station

Double deck trains look so cool compared to the majority of single deck trains

In Munich, suburban-Trains called "S-Bahn" consist of these trains:

Those above have replaced the following, of which only a few are left for peak-hour's service

Munich also has a subway:

When I vistit my parents, I take one of these:

Here's my local trains (Merseyrail) - the first picture is the train that I am used to. The second picture is one of the new trains on the line since Arriva took over Merseyrail. Both pictures are from http://merseyrail.pictures.fotopic.net/
Unfortunately, I couldn't find any with my town-name on the destination

Louie Armstrong · Post by **Louie Armstrong** » 15 Dec 2003 15:24

for the service that i use regularly between Milton Keynes and London the trains are either Virgin trains pulled by these or silver link local trains. also i miss the livery used in the second picture. the old intercity liver pre privatisation, damned government the system has got worse since then in my opinion
