Sydney - Perth and vice versa SP5 & PS6 will continue to run Sydney - Coota
- Parkes - Broken Hill - Perth attaching FCL doublestacks at Goobang
Junction (Parkes). I'm not sure about times.

Brisbane/Sydney - Adelaide and vice versa SA5/BA6 & AS6/AB6 will run via
Melbourne six days a week arriving in Melbourne south/westbound at lunch
time (Junee about 0545). Depating north/eastbound approx 1445, about an
hour in front of MB2. These trains will shunt Ettamogah for ANM paper five
packs. BA6 and AB6 will run on the same table on fridays only.

Cheers Krel

P.S. What is the true definition of a five pack??????
answer: a six pack five minutes after I get home. :-)
