Driver: "412M calling Metrol".
Metrol: "Metrol recieving"
Driver: "We seem to be having a problem with this new fangled solar
train!"
Metrol: "What's the problem?"
Driver: "We just stopped for no reason"
Metrol: "What is your location?"
Driver: "We've just entered the City Loop".
Metrol: "Is your train getting any sunlight?"
Driver: "We're in the City Loop, where the hell do I pull sunlight
from?"
Metrol: "Oh dear. We have a problem. Get a passenger or two on the roof
with your torch, point it into the solar panel, and you should
be able to slowly make it through to Flinders Street".
Driver: "Thanks Metrol, youre a life saver!"
Metrol: "Metrol out"
