Broken Hill services

["David Proctor" <daproc@bigfoot.com>]

Am I the only person who thinks that the current schedule for the Broken
Hill service is a waste of time and money? Hows this for comment

			WL31		WT27
Sydney			2300 (Su)	0710 (We)
Orange	(arr)		0420 (Mo)	1156 change
					WL33
Orange (dep)		0422 (Mo)	1220 (We)
Parkes			0622 (Mo)	1420 (We)
Broken Hill		1330 (Mo)	2130 (We)

			WL32		WL34
Broken Hill		0500 (Tu)	1930 (Th)
Parkes			1302 (Tu)	0337 (Fr)
Orange (arr)		1515 change	0550 (Fr)
			WT28
Orange (dep)		1555 (Tu)	0555 (Fr)
Sydney			2047 (Tu)	1118 (Fr)

I know the 0500 start on Tuesdays is a tad early, but it is better than the
0400 on the bus! I know i pontificated on another message about the
pointlessness of a two day a week service, but it depends on what the
service is to be used for. The tourist market that could be targetted by
this timetable would be more than adequately served by a twice weekly
train. There is also ample servicing time after the set arrives from
Griffith on Sunday afternoon!

Any comments?
