I haven't seen that many, but when I travelled on the 1305 up service
from Warrnambool on Saturday 9/12 the train was S302 - PCP - ACZ - BZ -
BRS. It was pretty full by the time we reached Geelong. Whenever I pass
Spencer Street or see them on the mainline, they always seem to be 4 or
5 car sets.

BTW, I had travelled on the R711 hauled service earlier in the morning.
If anyone here hasn't done this yet, it is a really good trip that is
well worth it. I think the government should not only renew the
contract, but it would be nice to see them giving R711 a bit of
advertising. As this is a regular service at a reasonable price, it has
the potential to become a really big tourist attraction for Victoria.
