there is only one S.G manline east - west and no chance to reroute in WA,
cut the main and thats it, no go til it opens. As a matter of interest it
not only applies to the S.G but almost every other line in WA as well. About
the only line that can be rerouted if they both don't get cut (as they just
did with not Vance but Emily) are the routes to Geraldton, but then you have
speeds in the vicinity of 20kph for many, many, kilometres to deal with.>
