Is Goulburn presently a crew depot for CountryLink, or are they making a new one there?
Interesting - the only trains that terminate/originate there are CityRail services.
"The trains at Pennant Hills run roughly every half hour. Nobody in their right mind uses a service that shoddy. That so many do just proves how many dumb and/or desperate people there are in Sydney." - MrPC

No idea, althrough I did hear that G'burn CLK Depot has quite a few Syd. Based Drivers based their currently on loan ATM, as they simply can't fill the position based their...
I think G'burn Depot may be responsible for the crewing of the Canberra XPL's as well as responsible for the crewing of the weekly Wkend-operated Griffith XPL so I was once told...

Goulburn has always had a crew depot. When it was one railway especially. When railways were divided up Goulburn Freight drivers were eventually amalgamated with the Moss Vale depot and the passenger depot for CountryLink retained at Goulburn.
The Goulburn drivers work:1. Canberra to Goulburn;
2. Goulburn to Sydney back to Goulburn;
3. Goulburn to Canberra to Goulburn;
4. Goulburn to Canberra;
5. Goulburn to Griffith to Goulburn. I think they go through to Griffith but that may be another changeover at Junee maybe.

Do you need Diesel quilifications to apply for this job, just a question, because in some states, you must hold that before you can apply, or is it open slather for anyone. Interested in any answers.

Nope should have looked a little closer, should have put the question a little better. They (REO TINTO) hired a lot of Electric Train drivers from the Perth System, some worked out OK, but 80% did not and wanted their jobs back with the PTA hence no diesel experience. BHP will not hire from the PTA. Spoke to XPT Driver who told me that the last batch from the metro electric system are not that skillled and some did or are not working out. A little difference in driving styles. As for applying, nar, not me, it's on its way out, seems no money in the State and something has to give on a 20 year old clunker, if you dont have the money for upgrades and other essential updates, it will not last long, even though it has given good service for a long time, days are numbered. Look at the state government cutbacks. maybe the cheap fairs for promotion, to get people back on the rails.
