Re: $99 one-way airfares : Who needs the XPT

["James C" <noemail@emailsux.com>]

I already noticed Sydney-Melbourne XPT suffered....

As I posted elsewhere Melbourne-Sydney XPT was quite empty last thursday and
it seems to me they only needed 5 carriages.

It's time to bring back the loco haul sleepers with lounge/dining car.

Cheers
James
