Gee thats good news!
But I wonder how you could even think it will happen, when both Companies
are already, paying their Drivers not to take Long Service Leave, and No
body is working 10 shifts now. 12 is the Norm.
Where will they get the trains from? Nobody is training Drivers, as far as I
know. Where will the Drivers come from?
