Why not? I like it - they will not do it again.

You would need to have adequate turnaround times though. I have seen in
Sydney where cleaners join a train at St. Marys and walk through the train
while en route to Penrith. They then return to St. Marys - by the time they
do the round trip, they have got through the train.
Not sure if this is a regular method of operation, as I have not seen it too
often though.
