Yep the Brisbane XPT's fuel the leading unit at Grafton in both
directions.... the fueling point at Roma Street has been closed down because
of EPA concerns... The WTT will be altered in May to reflect this working...
On the down the Lead Unit is fully fueled whilst on the Up the lead unit is
topped off to 3200 litres...
