Hi,

The departure time, is 6am. Too early for me to get out to see it :-) The
422 is leading both ways, which probably doesn't come as a surprise to
anyone here. the 45 is not authorised to lead in Vic, afaik.

The train left albury 2 hours late, and made up enough time to arrive about
45 minutes prior to the modified arrival time into Spencer Street, hence
about 20:45-20:50.

Regards,
Michael.
