NCIG are effing quick. Usually tip between 1.3-1.7km/h. You're lucky to have 2 hours in NCIG before the rake is back out on the network if you get a good run.

One of the big delays that trains arriving and departing NCIG cop is the Kooragang trains leaving and arriving. There was talk of a flyover being installed to combat this, I haven't heard any more of this lately though.

Been keeping an eye on Western coalies while working up the Mountains and there are just as many as usual although some run at night which perhaps gives the impression of less trains. On Friday one early down coal train was detected with hot bearings by the detectors at Medlow Bath and had to be stopped for inspection holding up passenger runs by 20 minutes, eventually in both directions.
