Well here's a twist for you - certain private freight operators are using
Freightcorp, CityRail and CountryLink drivers, etc. on a very part-time
basis to help supplement their small base of permanent staff. Of course this
is very much against the State Rail Code of Conduct which prohibits any
other form of employment. 

In the case of FreightCorp drivers, this could be viewed by FreightCorp
management as a conflict of commercial interest on behalf of the company!

However, it's happening right now...
