I find this extremely hard to believe. Whilst I do not know for sure, I would have thought that Countrylink would not allow other drivers taking their trains out of Sydney. I would believe it if told that NR were driving north of Taree or Grafton, as I don't think there are any Countrylink
drivers based there. Are there any NR drivers who know the facts?
