I reckon CountryLink should put a car on the Indian and the Ghan and book it
themselves to BHQ.

I also reckon that with not much effort they could run an Exploder to Griffith
which would be far more in keeping with their corporate image.

Personally, I much preferred the NDS cars - they were far more comfortable than
any of their other rollingstock IMO.
