Looks like your predictions have  it wrong there about NT25 and NT26..  NT26
is unchanged from its present timetable and NT25 has had time added (9mins)
to accomodate Overlength crossings on the North Coast.. NT25 will depart
Sydney at 1135 and arrive Grafton 2149....

The Brisbane Xpts have had time inserted in the TT for the fuelling
reuirments at Grafton... in both directions...

There has been 15 minutes app added to NT3 between Sydney and Grafton.. ...
most of this time is taken up in the City Rail area, and extra time has been
added to stops, where previuosly no or insufficient time was allowed
before... Examples are that Wyong and Fassifern were not allowed any time to
make the stop...also time allowed at Grafton for fuelling both NT3 and 4 if
required
