Evening all.

My understanding was that B80 was due to be transfered to Melbourne for
bogie exchange and then to make a test run to Albury on the new sg bogies
before the move to SA ready for a start in one months time. However as
already reported it was still at Ballarat East today, and I gather still has
a bit more to be done before leaving for Melbourne.

So the only B class action right now is still B61, which is back on track
after the drama Craig described last week. Saw it on Wednesday and pretty
sure I heard it pass through Geelong tonight on the 18 00 down Warrnambool
pass (much brassier and more dignified horn than the S class, but then I'm
biased).

Russell Armstrong
Geelong, Vic.

PS Alan. GM19's bogies were definitely not the s----- colour last weekend!!
