No the point is if pple were aware that there are only 7x 7 car sets to run
the whole program (xcludin the Dubbo) and that these things run almost
constantly.... theyre criticisms of XPT's may be a little more informed

Lots of pple bag Countrylink  but with the equipment and resources provided
by the state govt, they provide a pretty good service.....  I find myself in
total agreement with David in regards to cancelling services to get clean
trains.... there is not the time to give  em the attention they require

As for cranky PA's i can't comment on that side..... but i guess if the
people who are travelling on the trains (most of em either free or at
concession), were to treat the PA's with a bit of respectand understanding,
well maybe they may receive the same back... As for travelling by plane.....
well that costs money....  No travel  vouchers on them

Cheers
