The same show is relayed up here in Alice Springs and I
happened to catch that.  I agree, nice to hear a radio
commentator who has his facts right.

He also made the comment that guards look out for
signals etc, right again.
Although he did not say, he may have been trying to
advise the caller that railway guards are not there to
get their brains mashed by thugs, thats what *security
guards* are for. 

It is a pretty sad world these days when folks who use
trains are confronted by shithead bully boys.!
