NT 1 20/1/00 arrived Taree 2155/58 Arrived Grafton 0210/20 Fuel unit

NT2 21/1/00 Arrived Grafton 1130/39 Fuel Unit Arrived Taree 1605 10"
early... departed OK at 1617

Dont know what your sign in Sydney meant but that was the running of NT1/2,
20 - 21/1/00..  Where was the train? Close to on time I would say...

NT1 and NT2 both fuel the leading unit at Grafton because of EPA concerns
about the fuelling point in Brisbane.. the Working Time Tables of these
trains will be altered to reflect this working in May 00.....  Also when NT3
is running later than 45", both units are fuelled at Grafton and as a rule
the train is terminated at Lismore to facilitate as close as possible to OK
running for NT4... when NT3 is Ok and proceeds to Murwillumbah, it is
fuelled from a truck by a contractor..
