Any sightings of 4021 and/or 4022?

(I read somewhere not long ago that delivery of all 22 EMUs was scheduled to be completed by end of September.}

the stopping procedure on the 4k needs work, its terribly inefficient

now arriving at "Oaklands"
**train stops**
beep-beep-beep "Oaklands"
**passengers board***
beep-beep-beep "Doors Closing"
beep-beep-beep (Doors Closing)
**train departs**

this whole procedure is slow and cumbersome, especially if no-one gets on or off

The decision to save a few dollars by going for slow and flimsy plug doors is coming home to roost. The pocket doors on the DEMUs are far superior to the plug doors, and modern ones could be even faster than the 80's tech on the DEMUs.

It's a pity that the government didn't demand the inclusion of a similar clause to the one which had Siemens building Deutsche Bahn an extra Velaro D high speed unit once the delay was longer than six months. We could have enough free A-City EMUs to run a high frequency service on the next Adelaide-Salisbury stage by now!

Which should be taken as a guarantee that all 22 units would not, under any circumstances, be delivered by the end of September - at least not September this year.

We wouldn't want Bombardier to slip up and do something inconsistent with the tradition established with every other one of their previous delivery schedules for the EMUs.

Note on the 3000s the door closing beeps and announcement only happens if a door is actually opened.

Better still the train takes off much sooner if no doors were opened.

Also to note is that it was Bombardier that upgraded the old trians, yet the new trains seem to be "less smart".

Has anyone any news on arrivals of the last railcar segments?

Saw 4021 running into Oaklands towards adelaide at about 1210. Then I saw it about 10 minutes later at Brighton running towards Seaford. Where would it have reversed?

On the crossover just north of Oaklands.

The next closest crossover north of there is between Adelaide Showground and Leader Street.

Oaklands?

I also noticed that the doors on 4004 take much longer to close than the other sets. The sequence goes 'ding doors closing ding' then 3-5 seconds later the door actually closes.
