Hell, it might even prompt the Government to invest more in the regional rail & coach network for the benefit of everyone along the route, not just at the end. Dreamin' I know...That being said, I've always thought Rex could make money out of their regional services. Captive market. Fully depreciated fleet. Minimal competition and so on.
Spoken like a proud train driver. Can’t count the number of times that you’ve told us how really well you have done by getting out of flying as a career and got into driving trains. Good for you. Toot toot.. all aboard the government or mining monopoly gravy train.
Being smug isn't a good look.
