Re: What would be a worthwhile trip with a South-East Explorer Ticket - [Qld]

["Thomas Fothergill" <s370507@student.uq.edu.au>]

you cant go past getting an SX set! :) ... the 4:15 (well thats what it used
to be, think its 4.18 or something... in any case the train before the 4.26p
nambour express) ex roma st. to caboolture. is diesel hauled (usually a 1500
class) .. dunno if it will fit in with your schedule tho. unless u forgo the
4.26 some of the way.
