One of the regulars (well, he used to be a regular, haven't seen him for a
while) to this newsgroup used to do just that. But he was taken to task by a
CityRail inspector saying that he was infringing RAC's copyright. Funny that
RAC did not seem to mind.

Perhaps someone with access to them can pass them on to someone not subject
to CityRail control, who could then publish them until RAC does object.

Anyone willing? I am, but I am way out in Penruff and not sure if the people
who can get them are out this way.
