X class (and R class) are permitted to run between Flinders Street and
Epping according to the latest NSP. (Clifton Hill to Hurstbridge is
limited to T, P, J, K & D3 only.) Speed between Clifton Hill and
Epping is 65 pass and 50 goods. Loads are not published but will be
advised by the Motive Power Engineer (Is that you, Mark? ;-)).
