Good question Dave..... If the way the XPTs are running at the moment it
just isn't possible.... as an example, yesterday evening Meeks Road had 4
derelict XP's.... NT1 Departed Sydney 136 late waiting a unit off NT26,
which in turn meant ST 1 was waiting a unit off ST 4... At one stage they
were going to run the West this morning with 1 Unit... but talkin to the
Service Manager this morning he had 2 of the 4 XPs come good over night....
these new engines for the units can't come soon enough :)
