I would guess either the 17.40 South Geelong. 4 mins from Spencer St
sounds about right, and a Geelong train would be the most likely to have a
BS.
The other possibility would be the 17.42 Swan Hill, but 2 mins out of
Spencer St it should only have bene at Franklin St Box. If an FN set went
through at 17.46, that should have been the Northerner.
