Re: Fight in XPT drivers cab

["Rod Gayford" <rjaygee@eisa.net.au>]

If you look at the number of signs on the doorway into the drivers cabs of
Tangaras it would be easy for the media to confuse drivers and guards
compartments.  The Tangarras have three signs as follows:-  Drivers
Compartment, Crew Emergency exit & Guards Compartment.  Maybe they could
update and just call it Rail Operatives Cabin.
