This is money that they can't afford. They might now because of the help from the
government but from the figures I have seen the help does not go far enough.

My point is if they had a better name like (this is only for the sake of this reply)
NSW TRAIN TOURS as the main title and is you realy wanted to include 3801, as you say
3801 is well known, something like: operators of the famous 3801. as a sub title.

By doing this if 3801 drops dead the name NSW TRAIN TOURS can still ring true.
