Are there a lack of fueling facilities in Sydney?

Exactly where are Flemington Markets? I'm guessing western suburbs of Sydney?

How does one know what to believe. Can't we even publish a timetable anymore.
Will some kind person circulate details of loading, empty slots, containers etc when/if it arrives in Melbourne - even if they have to wait for 24 - 36 hours or so. I assume that it is a through load and that half of it will not get off at the Markets - does anyone know, please?
Even the old 'Ghan' could usually be predicted on a certain day and here we are 30 years on and don't even know what day a train is supposed to run.

Locos were EL57-EL62. EL57 failed and has been replaced with EL63. Load is 7 x CQBY and 17 x CQGY.

Many thanks - can I assume that he is roughly 24 hours ahead of the TT originally circulated and that he is now on the South somewhere headed for Vic.

Many thanks - I thought the turnround in Melbourne was tight. I assume he will sail on Thursday night as planned.

When is the next service between Brisbane and Melbourne scheduled?
What will be the frequency of services in the future?
Will QR be running two trains as one would not leave too many options in Melbourne and brisbane throughout the week?

Well said Bill.
Does anyone have the timetable - I thought that they were going to run 3 trains a week.
Has anything but the first train run yet, please?
The whole thing so far seems to be posturing.
Anyone know anything, please?
