Firstly, It will not be until the S sets are phased out in 2013 (PPP's will
be all rolled out by 2013) as it would cost way too much to convert them to
driver only and the cost can't be justified for a short period. Then
millions would have to be spent upgrading Tangaras, both the cameras and
also all passenger information systems. Stations would also need better
indicators. M sets are already set up for it, just have to add cameras and
make them work. Then lastly they would have to offer guards a payout which
is what I want.
I feel the govt. will come out and say that they can't afford to spend the
money on Railcorp that needs spending and they will sell it off, just like
Sydney Ferries and Electricity.
