The first of the two lots (10 people altogether, from memory) have completed
their formal training and now working at their respective location.  The second
group (9 people all up) just finished their training yesterday and will start
their work soon (if not from today).  For Ringwood area (Ringwood to
Belgrave/Lilydale), we only received three people from these two lots!!  More
are required, otherwise, some of us (including myself) have to work overtime,
get extra shifts, or close non-premium stations!!!

This is mainly due to forthcoming privatisation and some full-timers have
decided to take the "package".
