Oh goody.  This should mean that Bayside and VLP might cooperate just
enough to get our V/line departures back on the screens at North
Melbourne.  Response from bayside employee when questioned about their
absence ?  - "This is a metropolitan station, not a country station".
Thanks for nothing.  At present V/Line passengers from the city loop
must rely on PA announcements which can't always be heard over
departing trains.  Hopefully the new owner of both systems can sort
something out.
