That's right, cars returned to Warrnambool.  The set ex-8246 Saturday (spare in
MEL) was used to form 8207 Monday, at WMB it was shunted out and replaced by
the set ex-8246 Sunday to form 8232 (ie, back onto the normal rotation).

S302.  Minor elec problem, but unfortunatly enough to disable it.  Returned to
service on 8232 today (Wed).

Also on Sunday evening/night, the up Albury pass failed, passengers were
transferred onto the XPT (a fairly unusual move I'd think!)

Cheers,
Craig.
