Interesting. Was this true of all Brunel's broad gauge lines? That
would have meant that high(ish) speeds on broad gauge wouldn't have
been compatible with the comfort (and possibly the safety) of
passengers. Do you know if Brunel realised that later?
I think it was discovered quite early on and most of the broad gauge
were converted to sleeper type track, on broad gauge.
