Roderick Smith (rodsmith@werple.net.au) won a Nobel Prize for literature by writing:

The AAP wire has the actual times.

            Su,Mo
            Th,Fr
Adelaide     9.00
Melbourne   19.45

Melbourne   21.30
Adelaide     7.40

This guarentees it will be a dismal failure, possibly a deliberate move on
the part of GSR to can the Overland for good. Even the slightest late
running ex-Adelaide will miss the XPT in Melbourne. It's also useless for
weekend football traffic from Adelaide to Melbourne.

Cheers
David
