Now we do have a neat puzzle!

The key may be in the words "new rollingstock" - perhaps single power
unit XPT's or even something from left field like Bluebirds, perhaps?
One could argue that Bluebirds are "new rollingstock" as far as
CountryLink are concerned.

Does anybody know details of the three XPT vehicles currently supposed
to be on order? A driving trailer or three, perhaps, although a bit
dodgy out west where the kangaroos roam. 

They should never have got rid of the Comet!!!
