rolling stock for the Overland is out of date, may still be useful for charter work, football specials and motor race special to Tailem Bend but not for modern day intercity rail.

The Adelaide 4000 class is the metro version of the VLine Velocity trains. Diesel trains will eventually be phased out by EMU or Allstrom's hydrogen powered trains now operating in Germany and a new contract has been signed for use in the UK.
