But why would you introduce a train when a coach can provide a much faster
and more frequent service? From what I hear, the people of Bathurst are more
than happy with the service they now have, and will be even happier when
Bathurst is brought into the CityRail ticketing system - all those
pensioners, able to go to Sydney for the dya for only $3.

It was.
