Left SSS 2135 after train docked at 2107. North Shore arrival 2244 and advice re
accident announced 2315. Buses arrived around 0130 and left 0150, passengers
remained on train until buses turned up. Train departed with RTA group at 0151
to Gheringhap Loop where arrival was at 0210. Entertainment was 9138 shunting
and proceeding us with X49, G511, G534. BL27 was not able to complete RR move
until after 9138 cleared North Geelong as Section Authority required. Departure
of "Gheringhap Loop Mail" was at 0325 and we stopped most block points and loops
in the SAW territory a/c BL round the wrong way for proper SA working (only has
one receiver) and finally arrived Spencer Street at 0507 plat 1. The RTA group
then taxied to Tulla and flew 0755 AN95 with arr in ADL of 0833 CST well before
the buses at around 1000.

In a word, yes. And the departure was a joy to behold, X49 drowning out its
mates behind.
