Melbourne XPT

Hi,

While getting onto the 1800 coach to manbsfield on thursday night i noticed
large signes saying the 1835 XPT arrival was defective at Albury and that
busses were to replace the 2005 overnight xpt to Sydney.   Does anyone know
if the poor people on the 2005 ended up on a bus the whole trip to sydney??
Would it be posslile for VLP to use some spare cars (Are there any spare
cars??) to operate a replacment BG train to Albury??

The strange thing is that the sign was illuminated and was printed,
odviously not just for this time! - what kind of a train is replaced by
busses enough for the railway to produce an illuminated sign??????
