You would think so wouldn't you. But from another
ATSB report into a recent train derailment, the crew were operating at 80kph, though they were
supposed to be limited to 60kph due to 'paperwork'. There was no question asked about
why the crew were 20kph over the limit, or what
they thought the limiting speed was. The ATSB simply said they were 20kph over - presumably because they don't want to rock the boat with ARTC - another federal body...
