In the message about XPT to Richmond - Wh*****, from GABI@OZEMAIL.COM.AU to ALL!, GABI@OZEMAIL.COM.AU said:"

There were also some trips run by the SRA prior to the first regular
working from Parramatta to Penrith and return for around $5, with the train
reaching 160 kph on the "Speedway" accompanied by an announcement pointing
this out to the passengers.
