Of course the problem is that there is an awful lot of one way loading in
Oz. The Trans line is one of the worst.  Some do say that the only reason
that rail has so much of this corridor is that the truckies give it a miss
because of that.

Having said that, there is obviously a market for East Coast to Pert
transit. If that entails an empty run on the way back then this needs to be
built into the price.

Stats may not mean everything, Maurie.
