The 2 car explorer will go to Goulburn on the back of a Canberra service
today...  stow in Goulburn... work to Griffith tomorrow.... display Griffith
Saturday... work as a revenue service on Sunday... and will run to the old
table from next weekend...

The road Junee Griffith is 100kph road... but Countrylink is looking for an
upping to about 120 - 130 kph, then the table will be tightened..
