I have just seen the Safe Notice detailing the removal of the Electric Staff system of Safeworking on this section. The new system will be Ordinary Train Staff and Ticket.

So we now have:Joppa Junction to Tarago = ETS
Tarago to Bungendore = ETS
Bungendore to Queanbeyan = OTS&T
Queanbeyan to Canberra = ETS

Isn't this bizarre. What do they have against train orders?
The other alternative would be to consider the whole part from Joppa Jct to Canberra as one long section with only one train on it at a time.

More to the point, there is often more than 1 train between Canberra and Goulburn at the same time.

Then you couldn't do it without rescheduling so that didn't happen. Is there really that much traffic on the branch? I thought it was just 2x exploders and an oil train per day. First time I've ever heard of a rubbish train.
