@qldmatt@fletcherhf73 - actually, the ICEs were always numbered 151 to 158. I would guess that this was done to leave up to 150 vacant for more EMUs, which only got as high as 88. But the SMUs started at 201, which left 100-150 available, so the IMUs used that block.
They have just been refurbished and there isnt to many units in the first place, there is also 1 unit out of action indefinably.
They are unreliable because they aren't doing the job they were designed for, these units were the tilt train before the tilt train and are now doing all stopper work. so they have alot of KM's under the belt . Still nothing beats them for comfort!
why the fuck would you go to the trouble for that shit

If ICEs are older than IMUs, Why are old IMUs down in Train 100 to 150 and ICEs go from 151 to 158?
fletcherhf73 2 years ago
because the ICE's were transfered to Citytrain after the introduction of the tilt train in 98, thus getting numbered after the IM's

What platform was this?
FearlessMaster 4 years ago
Trains heading South/Up have to use platform number 1

To show the people who may not have seen an ICE train and maybe not Nambour.

How often do ICEs pass Nambour
Cloffe 5 years ago
Nambour is Inter City Express Central! 3 out of 4 services to/from Nambour are an ICE...if they make it.
