Whilst I can't tell you what that 'something else' is at this stage I did
say "Countrylink have a proposal to withdraw the loco hauled services".
This means that the EL suggestion is not so and I can say it is not a bus
replacement. I can also say that it does not involve any new rollingstock.

Aus loco discussion mailing listCould the 'something else' be an EL with XPT coaches ? Would have to be on
a thrice weekly schedule at least, though. In the Rail Digest article on
the Broken Hill train the writer mentioned that there were only 13
passengers on the existing train.That might also allow the Griffith service to be increased in frequency,
using the 422s and the tuscan coach set. What used to work that service,
and was it daily ?Cheers
