Hi Ashley,

As far as the ticketing is concerned, one ticket will be accepted by the
four operators (two each for trains and trams).  I believe the OneLink
system will allocate the revenue among the operators, but I don't know
exactly how the computers will do it (ie. some sort of formula, etc.?).

Cheers,
