Now since the locos and rolling stocks are available,if a company like
West Coast Railways wants to take the advantage open access and running
a passenger service on Sydney to Melbourne route.Would that be an easy
task? I know despite on open access policy it took Toll/Patrick/SCT a
long time to get approval for running freight trains(about a year in
most cases).
