So if Fridays goods was X33, and X34 how could  X42, X43, and X37 arrive in Melbourne, and what was on it?
Durring this a G class was stuck in Echuca with no way out untill the line to Bendigo was restored.  This happened Monday as no goods was to go through Toolamba today.  
So now I ask this question which way is faster, Bendigo or Seymour?
