Cool I thought that to be the case.
I must say thehow much more infomative the Vic systemis, having worked
trains under the NSW and VIC systems I found the VIC system to be more
informative and therefore more regimented as far as the newdriver/trainee
are concerned and therefore less chance of the inexperienced fuck up. the
speed regulated system certainly has a lot of plusses
