$198 return fare on the Overland

["Taliesin Walker" <taliesin@chariot.net.au>]

Currently $198 first class fares are currently being advertised on Adelaide
radio. This isn't so much more than an economy airfare, and that is when the
airlines are having a sale.

If these prices, along with lower (similar to bus fares) coach class fares
could have been maintained year round on the old Overland timetable the
train could really have been a real option for a lot more Adelaide <->
Melbourne passengers. Oh, well.
