That was T69, leading car D6276. Dapto has been on that indicator for the past year or so (see other
discussions in this newsgroup). Yesterday a G set (Outer suburban Tangara set) was attached to the
back of it.

Yes but they only have 81 Outer suburban Tangara cars to do the Martin Place to South Coast plus the
