: What you say may well be true.  The discussion about long and short
: section staffs under Train Staff and Ticket arose while talking about
: Puffing Billy.  There they certainly do have such a system.  A long
: staff covering Belgrave-Lakeside can be used, but if it desired (as it
: is most of the time) to open Menzies Creek and/or Emerald, then the long
: staff is placed in a staff box and releases the two short section
: staffs.  This staff box is located at Belgrave, so essentially before
: the first train of the day that decision is taken.
:
: It may be that PBR have "extended" the original VR Staff & Ticket rules,
: and that what we were discussing never could have happened on the broad
: gauge.

I would hazard a guess and say that PBR have created a safe working system
to suite their requirements.
