1    New transponders were installed Thursday night 1 March.
2    The City Outer transponder is supposed to be on the Down City Outer at
Goulburn Street (i.e. after Platform 19 rather than before Platform 22) so
CQ shouldn't be a problem.
3    The static transponder only tells the cab radio to increment its trip
number -- it doesn't have a timetable.
4    I can't see a Run 35AZ in the timetable.  Was this Saturday night's
Mardis Gras working?
5    The system doesn't know that '2' sometimes comes after 'Z'.

Comments?
