And anyway what advantage would trains have anyway. From memory of my
days of travelling on the XPT to Charles Sturt Uni at Bx there was not
much habititation beyond Lithgow along the railway line. Subsequently
they introduced the current road service which was much more passenger
oriented as they were able to provide a better frequency of service. How
would an Endeavour or whatever they are called be better. I know a 620
would turn any passenger off.
