Right on the ball! :-)

Other stats for the NSR include minimum curvature of 400m, a max of
120mm superelevation and a maximum train speed of 80kmh. Superelevation
is limited to 30mm through stations on curves and speed is limited to
60kmh through all stations.

Figures sourced from a whitepaper entitled "Airport Line- Stations and
Systems" by R.W. Hammer, presented to the RTSA on 19 May 1999.

Hope this helps,

Ben.
