Make sense....


NSW--> while I was in Wollongong 2 months ago I noticed the trains to
Sydney on weekdays got really full as early as 630am!! fill up 8
carriages, double deck V set by the time trains left North Wollongong.
Obviously people prefer trains there.

Vic--> The article didn't say much about Vic, but I must say our system
is better then average. Frequent and comfort enough to be <adore>.

Qld, QR made great attempt to earn back passengers, however no new
lines been build to serve newly develop suburbans(Redcliff, Browns
Plain). Gold Coast railway is not close enough to populated area.
