I've been in a CPH at Albury, during the "Farewell Southern Branches" tour the
ARHS Canberra put on in 1986. In fact, we may have been there twice on that
tour. Great trip, 4 days, 1500Km's of travel at 80Kph or better over recently
upgraded branch lines about to be closed...

That would bloody cold and miserable. Travelling in April (I forget - do you
remember, Tim?) was pleasant, though. Nice to be on a train where you could
open the windows.
