Not really - CityRail & Countrylink are *marketing* arms of the State Rail
Authority - sure they have their own staff, but they are part of the same
organisation. Likewise in Qld - CityTrain and TravelTrain are marketted
seperately, but they are part of QR - so they are really all one big happy
family.
