Although I'm a Victorian and hence think our system is the best (!),
what I did (and do) like about the NSW way of doing it is that the class
number is always seperate from the unit number. e.g., you have a 42201,
and a 42220, wheras in South Australia, you had 930 to 966, I'd have
preferred if this was done the NSW way 93001 to 93036.

Just my thoughts anyway....

Cheers,
Craig.
