It hasn't happened, I was having a go at the system. I think they're still
trialing Train Orders out west somewhere.

Drivers are supposed to log onto the new (?) radio system before departing
Macarthur, Moss Vale or Goulbourn - or something like that. It's a pathetic
system, way over budget, way over time (about 3 years) and looks like it was
designed by Fischer-Price. The CityRail radio certainly looks better, but I
don't know if it is.
