I have a copy of A.333/32 which details arrangements for the lines opening,
on 29th Feb. 1932, but it appears it was never issued.  My copy certainly
isn't signed by the GST, and I believe it came from the PRO at Laverton.
I'm certainly under the impression the Railway Construction Branch ran
trains for a period of time.
