ACZ255 is the wrong way due to going to Ballarat via Geelong station, return
to MSS via Bacchus Marsh (hence it did a triangle).

3 mins late ex MSS acc. late spark, 3 mins WIA acc. signal failure, time lost
due to 65km/h speed restriction on 105km/h curve between Terang and
Warrnambool (that one really hurts up trains as well). So the old B did a
damn good job. S311's turn tomorrow :)
