Hmmm
Departs 9.40 A.m Adelaide arrives melbourne 8.40 P.M.

Allowing for the half hour added when you cross the border that makes a
trip time of 10 hours 30 minutes.

Somebody's trying to pull our legs. As I understand the state of the
track and freight traffic such timings would not be possible on the
Adelaide to Melbourne route.
