Hang on a minute, he like thousands of other people
ride these things, and they do not know what bloody
bogies are under them and more to the point why should
they.!!  So the Libs were responsible for the bogies, I
suppose they called a special meeting to decide which
bogies would go under the _eXpensive Political Train_
they were saddled with. 

How come Bob's Labor has not fixed it then.!!!!

The NSW XPT is one of the best examples of why State
Governments should be removed from the non metro train
business.
