ST3 (8.10 Sydney Melbourne XPT) was stopped at Campbelltown and evacuated
while the bomb squad investigated a suspicious package on board. (One of 4
bomb scares in Sydney this morning, turning up another letter bomb in Surrey
Hills.)

As of 10am it was still at Campbelltown, but is now underway and running
very late. It is expected to terminate at Albury, although this is not yet
confirmed.

Cheers
