XP2015 had been named City of Melbourne in August 1992 but was renamed
City of Bathurst after this record breaking 193km/h run the following
month. Why? The run wasn't anywhere near Bathurst! XP2017 was named City
of Melbouren in Melbourne on 16/12/92.

XP2002 has was originally named City of Armidale.

Two XPs carried the name City of Dubbo at the same time!
