Hmmm...
I wonder if there will be any intergration between VLF and GSR,
considering the common ownership, can we look forward to Orange and Grey
diesels on the Overdue again?...

Gee,... if Freight Victoria get VLP, perhaps I may be able to catch
Great Southern to Albury?

Uh Ohh, I just realised, $2.10 for a soft drink on GSR, I'm having
second thoughts about it all now. 

Yours in speculation
