Mr. Jim Meade:

On the fare structure and the lo-lo principle, a version of that is what we are looking at in our freight strategy that I referenced earlier. We believe there should be inland ports and that we would do the trunk into inland ports and reduce the demand on the haulage sector, while maybe it could do double trips then in a day rather than single trips. It is a combined approach of inland ports that become big logistic centres where we do the heavy lifting into them and then they can do the runs to the regional cities. That blended approach would work.

We are working with a Victorian railway and bridge heights etc. are an issue in putting trucks on trains as would be seen on the Continent. It does not work for us.

We are part of a group that is looking at hydrogen. Particularly our sister company is looking at it from a bus perspective, but we also have some of our key engineers on it for what we can develop over time for trains. We believe that is a little further off. Two companies in Germany have small trains running, merely testing it and seeing how it works. We believe it is some way off.
