I think Hubert was referring to the "Down Suburban" track, which I seen the
excurvation of the concrete slab underneath the "Down Suburban" track as it
was ripped out near the Bridge Rd overpass midway between Flemington &
Homebush Stations yesterday (25/03/2000).

Any ideas why there is an excurvation of the concrete slab underneath? Is it
related to the ride comfort factor or something else such as Sydney Water
needed access to fix their pipes underneath the "Down Suburban" track?

Thanks - Cheers.
