Re: 4D Is it or isn't it

Hi,
I met with Hillside upper management yesterday and we discussed double
deckers in passing. They agreed that theyre not needed but they didn't
mention what they wanted to do with the 4D.

We also suggested a lot of improvements to service patterns and so
forth which they said they were "considering" or would "consider", such
as off-peak and late night frequency improvements and more expresses
through the day. They acknowledged that line capacity's not an issue.

When it came to infrastructure upgrades they said basically that they
would do that which their contract required them to do and no more,
which I guess reinforces the idea that lobbying on PT should be
directed at government.
