This is actually very reasonable, rail enabled, bigger than what we currently have, but not the absolute monsters that were planned.

I wonder if the ability to operate fully under electrical power for part of the crossing has been retained?

    Thanks for sharing your thoughts! I’m a project analyst working for government and hate relying on vague articles and cryptic press conferences.

    Might chuck through a cheeky IOA and dig around for an updated Business case!

    40 train carts is a good start, but my personal preference is for the ratio of trucks to train to tip over more to the train side, and with forty carts per ferry, I don’t see how it’s going to help given that according to gemini a train can carry 90-120 carts in one go.
