Alternative to Bell Bay->  Burnie.  That way the train arrives at an
exisiting infrastructure, and runs all but 25 kms of the original Tasman Ltd
run. Also has the advantage of linking with an "ideal" West Coast service
that would take people somewhere close enough to catch the ABT railway,
which, little Johnny permitting, will re-open in 2000.
