Depends on the timing. Shouldn't be a problem during the day.

I don't think the IP needs to run to Melbourne, at least all the time.
Maybe once a month.

Taking the Ghan to Sydney is utterly foolish. AN claimed it couldn't run
through to Melbourne and still run two services per week. It can be done
if you run day-night-day ex-Melbourne and night-day-night ex-Alice, but
would be impossible from Sydney. Anyone remember how long The Alice
lasted?
