[Pil-pc-oceania] train from Melbourne to Sydney

[Darren Doherty]

G'day,

Bloody Jeff.....my goodness what a chap.....its crazy when I catch the train
to go to Melbourne that the line is in eye shot of Tullamarine. I have tried
getting off the Bendigo/Melbourne train at Sunbury and catching a taxi to
Tullamarine...it is more economical to go to Southern Cross and then catch
the airport bus to Tullamarine.

I use the airport bus regularly both between Tullamarine & Bendigo ($36) and
Tullamarine & Southern Cross ($15), the latter running every half hour I
think...Its a pretty easy and cruisy option in the absence of Jeff Kennett
et al's contractual irresponsibility....
