Does this mean that the harris cars which most of the A's haul will also go?
And does this mean that the sprinters will directly replace the services
which the A's currently provide, such as the peak Seymour services? - This
would mean that VLP would no longer need to use the turntable at Seymour to
store the A's as they do currently.
