Re: My opinion on all night trains in Melbourne

What the Hell is this a Bus Convention, Stuff the Busses,
Has everyone forgotten that Comeng built the SA suburban Trains, Well

driven as a single car train or even just build a handful of single
spark cars lie the old days.  This way you can keep control of the
passenger's and you are not carting around empty cars for nothing.
