This is the point I was trying to make earlier. Previously, every driver
was taught to drive everything for flexibility, even if it was just moving
something down the line at Dynon. Now you're likely to see that only
V/Line Passenger drivers will be instructed/certified to drive an N and
only Freight drivers a G or X. How many Countrylink drivers are certified
to drive a class 82 or 90 and how many FreightCorp drivers an XPT?

Currently volunteer certifications for tourist railways are issued for 5
years.
