Aaha, in your usual sticky beak, you haven't noticed the large number
of "Energy Brix" B-doubles now frequenting Jeff's Road, no, sorry
Footscray Road, no, sorry, Melbourne Road, no sorry Docklands Highway.
The drivers are all Jeff's mates from the Grand Prix (or think they
are:  they seem a *very* aggressive group of fast drivers!  as I
commute along Footscray Road (I remember when it was still called New
Footscray Road <sigh!>) every day.  I agree,  I haven't seen a train
there for yonks.

However the current NSP (it's no longer a MASTER TRAIN PLAN, it's a
NETWORK SERVICE PLAN) still shows
