1XS7 runs most of the time and it is a second Sydney Trailerail service. My
understanding is the loading for 1XS7 comes out of Perth as part of a
Perth-Melbourne Trailerail and the train splits at Port Augusta and
continues to Sydney as 1XS7.
The loading on 1XS7 forms the balance of trailers for 3SP7 which departs
Sydney on Tuesday nights.

amongst my learned colleagues seems to indicate that it doesn't run - or is
it an extra TraileRail service? Confirmation appreciated.
