Perhaps on test prior to leading the Overland? How is a BL cheaper than
an NR - surely a 'new' NR uses less fuel and is cheaper to maintain than
a 15 year old BL?? Rumours persist that BL's will take over haulage of
the Overdue. This morning (Fri) it appeared to have an Overdue sleeper,
Ghan sleeper, IP car (sleeper?), 4 Overdue cars (sitters), and 2
motorails with I think 13 motor cars. Maybe things are looking up?
Motorail promotion is a very good idea - it's something the opposition
can't match!
Cheers,
CH.
