Since no country passenger rail services in Victoria or indeed anywhere else 
in Australia have ever made a profit , does this mean that it is not viable to 
run them , ie should we close down all pass services just because they are 
unviable.
If a pass service cant be run between Geelong and Ballarat because of the 
dopey safeworking system , then get rid of the system.
What a total bloody joke.
