Alstom's Ballarat plant under cloud as train deadline approaches
New designs for Melbourne's trains that would make trips faster, smoother and feature a London Tube-style seating layout are feared to have stalled, putting local manufacturing jobs under threat.
Designs by French train maker Alstom for new X'Trapolis trains reveal plans to improve the train's suspension to make the ride less bumpy, modernise train doors to cut the time it takes for passengers to get on and off, and build new signs on carriages that would track the train's journey in real-time.
