Mr. Garret Doocey:

It will be a lot faster with subsequent orders. This is the first order. The first order has to go through the intensive safety testing period. Once you get your certification from the European rail authority and the Commission for Railway Regulation, the next orders are a lot quicker because there is not this huge safety testing regime that needs to go in place.

As the Deputy noted, there are issues arising that need to be resolved. Subsequent to that, other orders will be a lot quicker.
