Scanners are fine when railway personal are talking, this generally occurs
when there is some disruption within a traffic pattern or when guards are
conversing with drivers. A good example was yesterday at the Broardford
Kilmore East area, the only time the scanner was active was on the Apex
loading and general passenger traffic, but absolutely nothing for gauge
traffic. Besides it adds a sense of adventure not Knowing what's coming
because when it does come It's usually a surprise.

Always expect the unexpected
