Perhaps our government owned track authority will have
to build bigger crossing loops.

ASR are at a distinct disadvantage to NRC.  
So I guess they have to try and "level the playing
field" somewhere.

National Rail Corp have NSW as one of it's share
holders, and the other mob from NSW which is also
government owned is trying to muscle in as well.

Good on you ASR.
