Overland lost far too much money since GSR started up. GSR didn't
recieve any subsidy at the beginning to save its passenger service nor
enough money to promot the service. Plus the recent accidents with IP
give the company bad impression. I don't think they would kill Overland
at all, if they want to do so they wouldn't ask for subsidies in the
1st place. Should V/line cancelled its Daylink service in order to
boost this service??

This timing would use only 1 set rather then 2, thou cut costs. Maybe
they should have some sort of "gurantee connection" deal with Country
Link?
